Baby girl injured after motorway hit-and-run crash

A baby girl has been seriously injured after a van struck three stationary vehicles in a hit-and-run crash on a motorway slip road, police have said.

Officers are looking for the driver and passenger who ran away after their white Ford Transit van hit two cars and a HGV vehicle, at the Junction 29 slip road off the M6 northbound, at Bamber Bridge near Preston, at about 16:25 GMT on Friday.

Lancashire Police said the baby, who had been in one of the parked cars, was taken to hospital where she is being treated.

They added that the two van occupants who ran off may have serious injuries, saying "we are concerned for their welfare".
