Teenager found with serious injuries on M27

A teenager has been found with serious injuries on the M27.

Police were called to the westbound carriageway, between junctions 7 and 5, in the early hours of this morning (Sunday 18 April).

Officers are trying to work out how the 17-year-old came to be on the motorway and how he was injured.

A spokesperson from Hampshire Constabulary said: "We are appealing for anyone who saw any pedestrians in this area of the motorway around this time, or perhaps saw anyone on the Botley Road bridge which runs overhead".

"In addition, we would like to appeal to anyone who may have been a pedestrian on the motorway at this time and has any information.

"Were you walking along the motorway at this time? Were you with this person or did you see them? Please be reassured that you are not in any trouble, we are seeking any witnesses who can help us establish what happened".
