At 2:00 pm, a Seat Altea vehicle drove off the southbound carriageway between junctions 33 and 32, prompting the dispatch of emergency services to the area near Bilsborrow.
The driver, a Carlisle resident aged 33, had serious head injuries when the car rolled multiple times and was subsequently sent to the hospital.
He sadly passed away yesterday. A case will be created and sent to HM Coroner eventually, according to Lancashire Police.
The woman in her 20s and the two kids in the car were treated at a hospital, according to the force, and were later released.
A 60-year-old woman passenger is still in the hospital.
Det Sgt Helen Parkinson of the Serious Collision Investigation Unit of Lancashire Police stated: “At this difficult time, my first and foremost thoughts are with the man’s family and loved ones.”
We are still looking into the crash and urging witnesses and anyone with dashcam evidence to get in touch with us.
