Man ‘seriously injured’ after A1(M) crash near Alnwick
At around 1 am this morning (Friday, July 28), police received a report of a two-vehicle collision on the A1 between Alnwick and Brownieside.
Emergency services attended and discovered that a white Ford Transit van had collided with a Volvo Heavy Goods Vehicle (HGV).
A stretch of the motorway between the B6347 (CharltonMires) and A1167 (Berwick-Upon-Tweed) was closed until late morning but has since fully reopened.
The male driver of the van – aged 46 – was found to have suffered serious injuries and was taken to hospital where he remains.
The driver of the lorry was uninjured and remained at the scene to assist police with their enquiries.
An investigation has been launched by Northumbria Police’s Motor Patrols team to establish the full circumstances surrounding the collision – and officers are appealing to the public for information.
