This is Scunthorpe -- Humberside Police has confirmed a woman who was left in a critical condition following a crash on the M180 in July is recovering from her injuries. Danielle Thompson, 25, was travelling in the back of a silver Fiat Punto that collided with the rear of a blue Mercedes car and the rear of a blue articulated lorry on July 16. She was taken to Hull Royal Infirmary by an air ambulance, after suffering a serious head injury and was described at the time as being "critically ill". Shortly after 3pm on July 16, a number of collisions occurred within a tailback of traffic on the M180, following an incident involving an overturned caravan on the M180 east bound carriageway between Junction 4 and Junction 5. The caravan was being towed by an Alfa Romeo when it became detached from the car and overturned in lane one. Police and ambulances attended the scene and lanes one and two were closed to allow recovery of the caravan. In the subsequent build-up of traffic, a yellow curtain sided articulated Volvo lorry collided with the rear of a white articulated Iveco lorry resulting in the driver of the yellow Volvo lorry being trapped in his cab. In a further collision, a green articulated lorry collided with a green rigid lorry, both drivers received minor injuries. A spokeswoman for Humberside Police said: "The investigation is ongoing. "Numerous statements have been obtained from witnesses and inspection of the involved vehicles has been undertaken, working alongside colleagues at The Vehicle and Operator Services Agency (VOSA). "Enquiries are continuing."
