A seven-month-old baby has tragically died following a crash on the A1, with Lincolnshire Police investigating whether icy conditions contributed to the accident.
The incident occurred on the southbound carriageway near the A52 junction at Grantham around 22:50 GMT on Thursday. A yellow Honda Jazz left the road and collided with a tree.
The baby boy sustained serious injuries and was rushed to the hospital but sadly passed away at 05:00 on Friday. A woman traveling in the vehicle also suffered serious injuries, while two other occupants were not seriously hurt.
The southbound carriageway remains closed as police continue their investigation.
