Six people have been arrested after a pregnant woman lost her baby boy in a hit-and-run crash and remains critically ill in hospital. The victim in her 30s had been on a pedestrian crossing when she was struck by a dark grey Toyota Prius on Sunday (Sept 29) just before 8pm. She suffered serious injuries in the collision, and police said the vehicle did not stop at the scene of the horror crash on Station Road, Bamber Bridge, Lancs. The woman was then rushed to hospital where she underwent emergency surgery to have her baby boy delivered, but tragically, he later died.

Davina McCall shares brain tumour surgery recovery update as she admits to private healthcare privilege
Davina McCall has given an update on her recovery following surgery to remove a brain tumour and praised her partner, Michael Douglas.The 57-year-old TV presenter shared her journey in an Instagram video, describing how a routine health check ultimately saved her life.McCall revealed that the tumour, a rare benign growth affecting only three in a million people, was discovered during a private health check offered to her after she delivered a talk on menopause.Reflecting on her recovery, she said: “I really feel a lot more myself now. I feel way better. My sense of gratitude is growing by the day. I’m crying a bit less, which is good. I’m really looking forward to Christmas.”She acknowledged the cost of the private health check, stating: “It’s expensive — BUT it did save my life. It’s prohibitively expensive for most, but the NHS offers loads of checks too. Preventative medicine is better than reactive medicine.”While the presenter acknowledged her privilege in accessing private healthcare, she urged followers to take advantage of free NHS health checks: “There were many health checks that I skilfully ignored when I got letters from the NHS offering them… so what I’m saying is, DO THE NHS HEALTH CHECKS… they are free!”
