Morning All,

I was involved in accident on the M6 just after junction 4A yesterday at c.15:05 in my Blue Skoda Yeti.

I was travelling south bound towards the M1, a Red Honda Civic Type R with Black Wheels was appeared out of no where, drove through the motorway hatch (this car was going towards M42 and I was going towards M1), it didn't even slow down. At this time, I was already half way into the slow lane on the M6. I swerve to avoid it (hence I didn't see the registration, it was literally right in front of me - there is no way I could have seen it from the angle). I believe there must have been some contact with it. I spun, hit the barrier, side airbags came out.

Needless to day, that person did not stop, it continued down the motorway. I noticed 2 sets of tire marks. mine and the other car's, but what must also be the other car's swerving back into the hard shoulder (I have taken a photo).

I have been to West Midlands Police to obtain a self reporting form, but since I don't have the registration number of the other car involved, I don't know how far the investigation would be taken.

I am appealing to anyone from this forum who saw / witnessed the accident. The last thing I remember was there was a Sliver Mondeo (Mk4) next to me, which have witnessed the incident. It was a busy motorway junction, so cards travelling towards M1 and M42 should also have seen the accident.

Appreciate your help.

Many Thanks.

I would have thought there'll be Highways Agency CCTV covering the general area that can pick up the Civic.

I am hoping the police would be able to find that. I have submitted request to HA for CCTV footage before and after the accident to see if we could spot it. However, just in case we didn't, it would be useful if someone witness the accident could come forward.
