A BABY was among those involved in a crash which shut a road in south Cumbria.

Police were called at 3pm today by the North West Ambulance Service to the A5092 after the crash involving a Nissan Note near to the Lowick School Bunkhouse.

A spokesman said the driver was a 31-year-old man from Wigan and reported that there were no injuries sustained.

But a spokesman for Cumbria Fire and Rescue said four casualties were involved after the car had gone through a brick wall.

One baby was released from the car by firefighters and three other casualties were then placed in the care of the ambulance service.

Firefighters from Ulverston and Broughton were called and were at the scene for 45 minutes.
