An accident that saw a driver drive off the road while a mother was on maternity leave has resulted in serious injuries to a little girl.
Just after 3:25 yesterday, the collision happened at a intersection on a Walsall residential street.
According to reports, the car drove in front of the mother with her two children. The injured child is one of those kids.
Later, a silver Nissan Micra equipped with a learner’s L plate was pictured being inserted into a fence after it had rammed through brick walls. The car was equipped with L plates but it is not known if the driver was a student.
The victim was treated by emergency services at the scene. He was then transported via land ambulance to Birmingham Children’s Hospital, where he sustained potentially fatal injuries.
Walsall police have reopened a street after two children and a mother were hit by an unruly learner driver.
After crashing into a brick wall, a silver Nissan Micra was seen with a learner’s L plate.
As police investigate the incident, officers have cordoned off the intersection between these two streets.
A spokeswoman from West Midlands Ambulance Service said: ‘We were called at 3.26pm to reports of a road traffic collision involving a car and a pedestrian at the junction of Primley Avenue and Ripon Road.
“Two ambulances, one paramedic, and the Midlands Air Ambulance from Cosford, as well as the West Midlands Care Team, attended the scene.
On arrival, one patient was found, a pedestrian child. Ambulance staff arrived on the scene to assess her and determined that she had suffered potentially severe injuries.
Just inches from the property of a neighboring house, a silver Nissan Micra was embedded in a fence.
According to reports, the car had cut its way through a wall in the garden with rubble and broken fencing nearby.
“She was treated immediately and transported to Birmingham Children’s Hospital by land ambulance.
A resident near the scene told Black Country Live: ‘It’s the first time I’ve seen something like this happen within the last five years, when I saw all the police I was scared.
“As parents, it can be scary to have something like this at your door. Your thoughts should always be with your children.”
