Police have appealed for witnesses after the death of a lorry driver in a horror motorway crash.
The man, in his 50s, was pronounced dead at the scene on Wednesday.
Two other people, the driver of a Ford Transit, a man in his 40s, and the driver of a Suzuki Swift, a woman in her 40s, suffered serious injuries.
Three other people suffered more minor injuries.
Ten vehicles were involved.
Police were called at about 11.20am on Wednesday to reports of a serious crash on the motorway close to junction 33 (Lancaster South).
The collision involved an HGV travelling northbound which crossed onto the southbound carriageway and collided with a number of other vehicles.
The motorway was fully closed in both directions between Junction 32 and 33 following the crash, but two lanes of the northbound carriageway have now reopened. One remains closed.
The southbound carriageway remains completely closed for surface repairs. Diversions are in place.
The number 40, 41 and 42 bus services (Morecambe/Lancaster to Preston/Blackpool) have been suspended by Stagecoach until further notice.
Supt Hassan Khan, of Lancashire Constabulary’s Operations Dept, said: “My thoughts first and foremost are with the loved ones of the driver who sadly died and with all those affected by this tragic incident.
"Our investigation into what caused this collision is ongoing.
“Work is still ongoing to repair the road so I would urge people to avoid the area if they can or check before you travel. I appreciate the delays are frustrating, but safety work needs to be completed before the road can open again.
“I would ask anyone who witnessed the collision, and who has not yet spoken to police, to get in touch.”
Anyone who witnessed the collision or who has any information can call police on 101 quoting log 0564 of November 6th. You can also email the Serious Collision Investigation Unit at SCIU@lancashire.police.uk
