The motorway was shut for several hours while emergency crews worked at the scene. A doctor even had to amputate part of Dan’s foot on site to save his life. Hampshire police reopened the M3 just after 5am on Saturday but remain keen to understand what caused the crash.

Officers confirmed no other vehicles are believed to be involved but urged witnesses to come forward. “Other motorists may be able to help establish exactly what happened,” a police statement said. Anyone with information can call 101.
