The mom was able to pull her daughter out of the way before she rolled over
A mum was walking along Warwick Road with her daughter, believed to be two – when a speeding car veered off the road.
The car hit a lamppost before flipping onto the road right in front of the mum – who managed to pull the pram out of the way to safety.
As witnesses rushed to check on the driver, the mother was seen holding her child tightly before sitting on a chair outside the restaurant.
A shop worker who rushed to help after the accident told BirminghamLive: “The mum was in shock and her little girl was only about two years old.
“We think she had a broken leg. It was a terrible crash.”
