Heart-stopping moment mother and her two-year-old daughter escape injury from car crash

This is the heartbreaking moment a mother and her two-year-old daughter in a pram narrowly escaped serious injury after a car crashed into a lamppost and onto the pavement.

The terrifying crash happened near a zebra crossing on Warwick Road in Solihull, West Midlands, at around 4pm on Saturday.

Video shows the mother pushing her child in a stroller as the car veers off the side of the road. The mother then braces for impact and tries to turn the stroller away before the car crashes into a lamppost and tips over on its side.

As traffic comes to a standstill, others walk on the street and people in their cars try to help the pair.

Seconds later, the mother is seen miraculously walking away from the car, holding her daughter and sitting on a chair outside a restaurant.

A store employee who rushed to help after the crash said the little girl had injured her leg in the accident.

“The mother was in shock and her little girl was only about two years old,” they said. 'We think she has a broken leg. It was a terrible crash.”

West Midlands Ambulance Service sent two ambulances to the scene. The child and the female driver of the car suffered non-life-threatening injuries and both were taken to hospital.

An ambulance service spokeswoman said: 'We were called at 4.11pm on Saturday to a road traffic collision involving a car and two pedestrians on Warwick Road, Solihull. Two ambulances and an ambulance worker arrived on scene.
