Narrow escape for mother and baby after trailer flies off van

A mother and her baby had a narrow escape after a trailer came off a van and collided with the child’s pram.

Eleanor O’Callaghan said it was “absolutely terrifying” when the one-tonne trailer mounted the pavement and struck the pram containing her three-month-old son, River.

She had been pushing her baby in his pram along the pavement in the village of Silver End, Braintree, Essex, last Tuesday.
