A man has been seriously injured in a road traffic collision in Carnforth.
Emergency services were called to the incident involving a single vehicle just before 8pm on Bank Holiday Monday August 31 on the A6070 at the junction with the M6 Junction 35 roundabout at Carnforth.
A police spokesperson said the collision happened when a BMW 1 Series failed to negotiate a left-hand bend and collided with a barrier causing serious injuries to the driver and sole occupant, a man in his 40s. He remains in hospital.
A Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service spokesperson said two fire engines from Carnforth and Bolton-le-Sands attended and freed one casualty using hydraulic equipment, small tools, lighting and an environmental pack.
"Last night, our crew was turned out alongside Bolton-le-Sands to a serious single-vehicle collision on the M6 access slip road," said a post on the Carnforth Fire Station Facebook page on Tuesday.
"On arrival, we found a car impaled on the safety barrier with a casualty trapped inside.
"Using our Holmatro cutting equipment, we removed the vehicle's doors and roof to safely extract the driver. The casualty was immediately handed over to our colleagues at the North West Ambulance Service (NWAS).
"The slip road remained fully closed throughout the rescue and recovery operations."
Police are appealing for anyone who witnessed the collision or who has any footage such as CCTV or dashcam to contact them.
