A WOMAN remains in hospital after an “extremely serious collision” which forced the A1(M) to shut for four hours.
A man and a woman were travelling northbound in a silver Vauxhall Corsa when the car left the road just after junction 8 for Stevenage at about 1.55pm on Sunday.
It is not yet known what caused the crash, which saw the car roll over before stopping in a field opposite the motorway.
The man and woman involved were taken to Lister Hospital in Stevenage, where the female passenger remains in a serious condition.
The A1(M) was subsequently closed between junction 8 and junction 9 for Letchworth Gate until about 6pm.
