A spokesman for South Yorkshire Police Ops Support said the road surface was wet and the temperature was below freezing.

"The driver was reported for excess speed," he said.

"He has blatantly put the lives of everyone on that stretch of motorway in danger.

"A blow out at those speeds would be fatal."
