A seven-month-old baby girl has died in a crash in Milton Keynes.

At just after 9.50pm on Sunday (4/12), a grey Peugeot 508 was travelling in an easterly direction along H10 Bletcham Way, Bletchley from the Denbigh roundabout towards Fenny Lock.

A green Fiat 500 was travelling in the opposite direction having come from the A5 Caldcotte exit when it was involved in a head-on collision with the Peugeot.

A baby travelling in the Peugeot was taken to hospital in Milton Keynes, where she died of her injuries.

Another passenger in the Peugeot, a 30-year-old woman, suffered minor injuries.

The driver of the Fiat suffered a broken leg and was taken to Milton Keynes University Hospital for treatment, and she has since been discharged.

A 27-year-old man from Milton Keynes was arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving, causing serious injury by dangerous driving, driving while unfit through drink or drugs, and driving a motor vehicle with a proportion of a specified controlled drug above the limit and failing to stop after a road traffic collision.

He has since been released on police bail while the investigation continues.
