An eight-day-old baby was rushed to Birmingham Children’s Hospital after a car overturned on the M50 this morning. Emergency services responded to the crash, which occurred around 6:15 a.m. between Junctions 1 and 2.
The incident involved a Peugeot 308 that struck the nearside barrier before flipping onto its roof. The female driver, aged 37, sustained injuries and was taken to Queen Elizabeth Hospital for treatment.
Following a police investigation, the woman was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol. The crash caused significant traffic delays, with one lane of the eastbound M50 still closed due to barrier repairs.
