A TEENAGE boy has tragically died after a van drove off the M6 motorway and crashed into a tree.
Emergency services rushed to the crash site between Junctions 33 and 34 on the busy route where they found the 14-year-old suffering from fatal injuries.
He was tragically pronounced dead at the scene, close to University Hill, Lancaster.
The teenager's father, a man in his 30s, had been driving the van and suffered serious injuries.
He was rushed to hospital where he currently remains.
Sgt Martin Wilcock, of the Serious Collision Investigation Unit, said: “This collision has very sadly resulted in the death of a young man and left another man with serious injuries and my thoughts are with their loved ones.
“I would appeal to anyone who saw what happened, and who hasn’t yet spoken with police, or anyone with dashcam or mobile footage, to get in touch.
“I would also like to speak to anyone who saw the van in the moments before the collision.”;
The route had been closed earlier today as an air ambulance landed to assist the victims.
