Police are appealing for witnesses following a serious collision on the M1 on Friday (14 February).
Emergency services were called shortly after 2.15pm to the collision on the northbound exit slip road at junction 11 involving a black Audi, a white Iveco van, and a white Nissan van.
Three people – a man in his 40s, a woman in her 20s, and a baby – were taken to hospital for treatment. The baby, who suffered life-threatening injuries, and the woman, who sustained serious injuries, remain in hospital.
A man in his 40s was arrested on suspicion of causing serious injury by dangerous driving and is currently in police custody for questioning.
A second man in his 30s was arrested on suspicion of drug driving, and has been bailed pending further enquiries.
Detective Inspector Garry Webb from Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire’s Serious Collision Investigation Unit said: “This was a very serious incident, and we urge anyone with information to come forward.
“We especially want to hear from anyone who may have seen these vehicles before the collision or has dashcam footage that could assist our investigation."
Anyone with information or footage is asked to report online at or call 101, quoting Operation Athletico.
