The brick was thrown from a footbridge at the Aston Villa team bus as it travelled on the motorway at about 5.15pm last night .
Police are now appealing for anyone with dashcam footage or other information to come forward. The footbridge is located by the slip road at junction 10 of the M65.Police say that although no one was hurt, the incident could have been much worse and they will no tolerate putting motorists in danger. Supt Melita Worswick, of Lancashire Police, said: “This incident occurred when a great deal of traffic was leaving the area following the football match between Burnley and Aston Villa. It is nothing but good fortune that the brick didn’t cause more damage, or result in somebody being seriously injured or even killed.
“We cannot say at this point whether this was a targeted attack but enquiries are ongoing and this will form part of our investigation. “We are now determined to find the person or people responsible and are asking for anyone with information to get in touch. If you have any information or dashcam which can help us, please contact us as soon as possible.”
