Large pieces of stone fell from a vehicle onto the M5 carriageway

A child has been hit in the face by a large piece of stone that fell from a vehicle on the motorway.

The stone was being transported by a vehicle travelling northbound along the M5, close to junction eight for Upper Strensham at 16:10 BST on Sunday.

It fell off the back of the transporter and bounced onto another vehicle then smashed into a rear passenger window.

The four-year-old was travelling in a blue BMW and required hospital treatment, police said.

Other large pieces of stone also fell onto the carriageway.

Police want to hear from anyone who might have dashcam footage.
