A LUCKY escape was made by a three-year-old girl and two adults when the car they were in crashed and overturned outside Rugby School.
An ambulance was called to Dunchurch Road at 3.50pm on Sunday afternoon after the Renault Clio rolled over and smashed into metal railings which protect the footpath.
A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokesman said: “Thankfully, no-one was on the footpath at the time of the crash. Equally, it was fortunate that none of the railings entered the car.
“The 3 year old girl in the back was unhurt largely because she was well strapped into a good quality child seat; this undoubtedly protected her massively during the crash and should serve as a lesson to all parents with young children about the protection a child seat can provide.”
He added the 24-year-old man driving was uninjured, while the 20-year-old woman in the front passenger seat had a head injury, cuts and bruising, and was assessed by ambulance staff and taken to University Hospital Coventry and Warwickshire.
“While no-one would wish a crash like this on anyone, this could easily have been a much more serious incident,” the spokesman added.
