KNOCKED ON HIS DOOR Inspector Mark Vicary, of the roads policing unit, said: "Our thoughts first and foremost are with the child in hospital and loved ones who have received the most

awful news overnight. "A specially-trained officer will provide them with support at this difficult time. "Emergency services have worked throughout the night at what has proved to

be a very complex scene. They have worked diligently and professionally to try to save life in the most tragic of circumstances." Road closures remain 'necessary' as work to

recover the vehicle still needs to be completed. National Highways will also need to assess the carriageway and possibly make repairs before the motorway can be safely reopened, he said.

it will need to stay shut in both directions for the next few hours, however we are doing all we can to reopen it as soon as possible. "We appreciate this closure is causing delays and

disruption to the public, particularly at the end of the half-term break. Article continues below "But given the severity of this distressing incident, we hope the public can understand

the reasons why this is necessary and ask them to consider alternative travel plans." Witnesses and anyone with dashcam footage are asked to contact police online or on 101 quoting
