The incident happened on the M50 in Gloucestershire
An eight-day-old baby was injured in a motorway crash after a car flipped onto it’s roof. The horrific incident happened in Gloucestershire at 6.15am today (May 25).
The Mirror reports a Peugeot 308 collided with the nearside barrier between junctions 1 and 2 of the M50 before overturning. A 37-year-old woman has been arrested on suspicion of driving while under the influence of alcohol following a police investigation.
She was taken to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital for treatment, while the eight-day-old baby was taken to Birmingham Children’s Hospital. Motorists faced long delays while accident recovery and police investigation work was carried out, Gloucestershire Live reports.
One lane of the M50 eastbound remains closed to allow barrier repairs to take place. Traffic was at a standstill for several hours as emergency services attended the scene.
Police are now appealing for witnesses. A spokesperson for West Mercia Police said: “We would like to hear from anyone who witnessed the collision or who may have dashcam footage of the moments leading up to it.
“Anyone with information is asked to contact PC Pickering by emailing paul.pickering@westmercia.police.uk.”
