A BABY was taken to hospital after a car mounted the pavement in Dudley.

It is believed that the 18-month-old child was thrown out of the pushchair following the crash in Ashenhurst Road yesterday (Wednesday).

When paramedics arrived at the scene at 2.52pm, they found the pushchair trapped underneath the vehicle and treated two female pedestrians and the toddler for minor injuries.

One woman was discharged at the scene, while the other woman, who had suffered cuts to her head and complained of back pain, was taken to Russells Hall Hospital along with the child, for further treatment.
