A man in his 50s is in a serious but stable condition after he was treated by paramedics from the air ambulance after a crash on the M1

An air ambulance was called out to the southbound carriageway between junction 14 and 15 at about midday after the lorry left the road.

The M1 was closed in both directions to allow the helicopter to land.

The man, who was aged in his fifties, was treated for multiple injuries and then flown to John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford, where he was described as being in a “serious but stable” condition upon arrival.
