Three babies seriously hurt after pram is hit by runaway trailer

Three children are in hospital with serious injuries after a trailer collided with a pram in Dumfries.

The children, aged eight months, 14 months and 18 months, were in the pram when it was struck by a trailer on Pleasance Avenue at about 3.15pm on Monday.

The 18-year-old woman pushing the pram was also hurt.

The children were initially taken to Dumfries and Galloway Royal Infirmary, and later transferred to the Royal Hospital for Children in Glasgow.

The woman pushing the pram was also taken to hospital, and later discharged.

Police Scotland said the trailer is believed to have become detached from a Mitsubishi Outlander SUV, striking the pram on the pavement.

On Tuesday, a Police Scotland spokesperson said: “All three children are being treated for serious injuries at the Royal Hospital for Children, Glasgow.”

Sergeant David Kerr, of Police Scotland’s road policing unit, previously said: “Our inquiries into this incident are ongoing and we would urge anyone who has witnessed it to come forward.

“We would also be keen to speak to anyone who may have dashcam footage from the area.”
