A South Yorkshire Police[4] spokesman said: "We were called to the A1(M) between junctions 35 and 36, at 10.36am today (5 May) to reports that a vehicle and pedestrian had been in a collision on the hard shoulder.

"One man was found to have sustained leg injuries during the incident and was taken to hospital."

The A1 was closed in both directions near Doncaster following the smash.
