Last night, a chaotic scene unfolded on the A1M in West Yorkshire. The bus, which was carrying football fans, was seen lying on its side, while emergency services rushed to the scene. It was a multi-vehicle crash involving a minibus and a black Skoda Fabia, and it happened around 7pm near Pontefract.
According to West Yorkshire Police, the minibus, known as the Iris, had overturned on the northbound carriageway, near junction 40. It was on its way back from a match, carrying supporters of South Shields FC. Sadly, seven passengers were seriously injured in the collision.
There was also believed to be a third vehicle involved, a white car, although it has not yet been identified. The football club took to social media to express their concern for their fans, saying "Our thoughts go out to the supporters involved in a crash on the way home from today's game. At this moment in time, we have no further details, but we hope everyone is safe and recovering."
The match that the fans were returning from was a tough one for South Shields, as they lost 3-2 to Tamworth at the Lamb Ground. A video shared on social media showed the damaged minibus on its side on the hard shoulder of the motorway. As a result of the crash, traffic was backed up on both sides of the road, causing further chaos.
The situation was so severe that parts of the motorway had to be closed until Sunday morning. Emergency services, including the Yorkshire Air Ambulance, were on the scene, providing aid to those involved. The police are still investigating the incident and are asking for anyone with information or dashcam footage to come forward.
