A man has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving after a three-week-old baby died in a road collision.
The incident happened on the A451 between Kidderminster and Stourport at around 12.09am on Saturday.
Wyre Forest Police said the collision involved a black Ford Focus and black Suzuki Vitara.
A three-week-old baby, who was in the Suzuki, died at the scene. The other two occupants, a man and a woman in their 20s, required hospital treatment for injuries which are not thought to be life-threatening.
The driver of the Ford Focus was not injured in the collision.
Police confirmed a 39-year-old man had been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and is currently in police custody.
The force said officers would like to speak to anyone who witnessed the collision or has dashcam footage from around the time it happened.
Inspector Steph Arrowsmith said: “A young baby boy has tragically died and our thoughts are very much with the baby’s parents and wider family at this incredibly distressing time.
“A man has been arrested as our enquiries continue, and I would ask anyone who was on the A451 between Kidderminster and Stourport around the time of the collision to please get in contact with us.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
