A seven-month-old baby girl has been killed in a head-on collision which left a 30-year-old woman injured, another woman with a broken leg and a man arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.
The baby was a passenger in a grey Peugeot car travelling east along the H10 Bletcham Way, Bletchley, from the Denbigh roundabout towards Fenny Lock just after 9.50pm on Sunday.
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.
Another passenger in the Peugeot, a 30-year-old woman, suffered minor injuries and the driver of the Fiat suffered a broken leg. She 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.
