Eyewitnesses reported numerous emergency services at the scene following the collision between the Armthorpe and Hatfield junctions.
The air ambulance was spotted landing and later departing the scene, but it is not clear if the injured person was transported to hospital using the aircraft or a land ambulance.
Large tailbacks built up on the M18 with traffic being held before the carriageway was later re-opened to drivers.
