A seven-month-old baby died after a car collided with a tree on a dual carriageway in Lincolnshire, England. Police are investigating the possibility that icy road conditions contributed to the crash.
A seven-month-old baby has died after a car lost control on a dual carriageway and hit a tree, with police investigating whether the crash was linked to icy conditions. Police were called to a single-vehicle collision involving a yellow Honda Jazz on the A1 near Grantham in Lincolnshire at just after 10.50pm on Thursday. The car left the southbound carriageway around 500 yards from the Spittlegate junction, hit a tree and came to rest on the road.
The baby boy was taken to hospital but was pronounced dead just after 5am on Friday, Lincolnshire Police said. A woman also travelling in the same car suffered serious injuries, while two other passengers were not seriously injured. A spokesperson for Lincolnshire Police said: 'The road was closed in both directions while emergency services worked, and the southbound carriageway remains closed by Highways while they carry out investigative work along the roadside. 'We are now investigating the cause of the collision, and while we are keeping an open mind, we are considering whether this was linked to icy conditions on the carriageway in that area. 'We are asking for help from anyone who may have been driving in that area over the past few days to get in touch with information or dashcam they may have which show conditions over the past few days. 'We would also been keen to view any footage of the collision itself and ask that anyone who was traveling that in that area who we have not yet spoken with to get in touch.' The family of the baby is being supported by specially-trained officers
