SKY NEWS reports:

Former England football star Mick Channon has been seriously injured in a car crash and will undergo surgery.

Mick Channon was a centre forward for Southampton and England

Son Michael Channon said his father had a "tough old night" in intensive care with broken ribs, a broken arm, a fractured jaw and a punctured lung.

Racing agent Tim Corby, a life-long friend of Channon, was pronounced dead at the scene.

Channon's other son Jack, aged 15, was also hurt in the crash on the M1 on Wednesday. He was left "battered and bruised" but was not seriously injured.

Mick Channon will be operated on tomorrow, to pin bones in his arm and have his jaw wired.

Mr Channon said Mr Corby leaves wife Sheila and daughter Adriana.

He added: "Mick is conscious and able to talk from his hospital bed and he's absolutely devastated at the loss of Tim."
