A BABY has been seriously injured after a van struck three stationary vehicles in a hit-and-run crash.
The horror collision took place on the Junction 29 slip road off the M6 northbound, at Bamber Bridge near Preston just before 4.30pm on Friday.
Cops are now hunting for a driver and passenger who ran away after their white Ford Transit van hit two cars and a HGV vehicle.
A baby girl, a passenger in one of the cars, was taken to hospital with serious injuries where she remains at this time, said Lancashire Police.
The driver and passenger of the Ford Transit Van made off at the scene with cops urgently trying to track them down.
