Seven-month-old baby boy dies after crash on A1 in Lincolnshire

Lincolnshire Police have said that a seven-month-old baby boy has died after a crash on the A1 near Grantham.

Officers were called to a collision near to the A52 at Grantham after a yellow Honda Jazz left the road and crashed into a tree. No other vehicles were believed to have been involved.

The baby boy suffered serious injuries during the collision and was treated at the scene and taken to hospital where he died just after 5am on Friday morning.

A woman also travelling in the same car suffered serious injuries. Two other people in the vehicle were not seriously injured.

The road remains closed as investigation work into the collision continues.

“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,” said a Lincolnshire Police spokesperson.

“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.”
