The crash happened on the B4385 close to Heblands Bank End, near to Bishop's Castle, just after 5.30pm on Sunday.

The mother was treated for minor injuries before being taken to hospital with her baby.

West Midlands Ambulance Service spokesman Steve Parry said: "Crews arrived to find a two-car collision which also resulted in a pushchair being pinned against a hedge.

"The mother was treated for minor injuries and the four-month-old child in the pushchair escaped unhurt from the ordeal. They were both taken to the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital.

"A woman car driver was treated for knee and facial injuries and taken to Royal Shrewsbury Hospital.

"The male car driver of the second car involved was treated by a local GP and later discharged. Two other people were also assessed at the scene and later discharged."

An hour later, at 6.30pm, there was another crash in the south of the county, at Stitt, Rattlinghope, when a scooter rider hit a road sign.

The rider, a woman in her 20s, received treatment for a head laceration, pelvic and arm injury.

She was immobilised and given pain relief before being airlifted to the Royal Stoke University Hospital.
