Infant Dies in A1 Crash Near Spittlegate

A tragic accident occurred on the A1 near Grantham in Lincolnshire, resulting in the death of a seven-month-old baby boy after a car crash involving a yellow Honda Jazz. The vehicle left the southbound carriageway near Spittlegate Junction, collided with a tree, and returned to the road. The baby was severely injured and later died in the hospital, while a woman in the same car sustained serious injuries. Police are investigating if icy road conditions contributed to the single-vehicle collision, and the southbound carriageway remains closed for investigative work. Lincolnshire Police are appealing for information or dashcam footage from drivers who were in the area around the time of the incident. The family of the deceased child is receiving support from specially-trained officers.
