POLICE are appealing for dashcam footage of a motorway crash which led to a man suffering serious injuries.
West Mercia Police says a vintage army ambulance crashed into a stationary lorry on the hard shoulder of the M5 northbound between Junctions 8 and 7.
The crash took place at 12.10pm on Friday afternoon (September 22).
The driver of the ambulance received serious injuries, police said.
We previously reported the man was taken to Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham after he was trapped in the ambulance and needed to be cut free by the fire service.
Police investigating the crash have now appealed for anyone who witnessed the incident, including any motorists on the road at the time with dash-cam footage, to come forward.
Anyone with information can email dl-hfostrubd@westmercia.police.uk or call 101 extension 7733401, quoting 00164_i.
Alternatively details can be given anonymously to the independent charity, Crimestoppers, by calling 0800 555 111 or by visiting their website crimestoppers-uk.org.
A West Midlands Ambulance spokesperson previously said: "We were called to reports of a collision between a two-vehicle road traffic collision on the northbound carriage of the M5, near junction 8, at 12.06pm.
"One ambulance, two paramedic officers, and the Midlands Air Ambulance from Strensham attended the scene.

"On arrival, crews discovered a car and lorry that had been in collision.
"There was one patient, a man, who had to be cut free from his car by the fire service.
"He was treated for serious injuries before being taken to Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Birmingham, by land ambulance."
Three Hereford & Worcester Fire and Rescue crews from Worcester, Droitwich and Evesham Fire Stations and two Gloucestershire Fire and Rescue Service crews attended.
The M5 was closed between junction 7 (Worcester/Evesham) and junction 8 (Strensham) in both directions while emergency services dealt with the incident.
Midlands Air Ambulance was called to the motorway while two-hour queues of traffic built up on the northbound carriageway.
Traffic backed up between Droitwich and Junction 10 (Cheltenham).
In Worcester, roads surrounding the motorway were busy with traffic including the A4440 and the A38 through Severn Stoke and Kempsey was congested.
