This is Staffordshire -- A FAMILY of four narrowly avoided serious injuries after their car was wedged between two roadside barriers on the M6 this morning. At around 12.45am the West Midlands Ambulance Service (WMAS) was called to the northbound carriageway of the M6 between junctions 14 and 15, on a section of road just above the railway line. A WMAS spokesman said it was "remarkable" nobody was seriously injured in the incident. They said: "Crews arrived to find a car which had crashed and ended up on its side and facing the wrong way on the motorway. The car had wedged itself between two barriers at the side of the carriageway, narrowly missing falling off the motorway and onto the railway line beneath. "The family of four, two adults and two children, had managed to get out of the car prior to crews arriving and had suffered no serious injuries. Upon assessment by crews, one child, an eight-year-old girl, sustained back pain in the collision and was immobilised with a neck collar and spinal board. "The girl and her three family members were taken by land ambulance to University Hospital North Staffordshire for further assessment and treatment."
