BMW ploughs into mum and baby in pram as £5k reward offered in hunt for driver
A mum was left fighting for her life in hospital after a car ploughed into her as she crossed a road, pushing her 13-month-old baby in a pram.
Rajdeep Kaur, 37, was crossing over in Hounslow, London, when a silver BMW overtook a line of traffic and drove down the wrong side of the road. The reckless driver hit Rajdeep, throwing her several feet in the air, leaving her with life-threatening injuries. The car narrowly avoided her young daughter, who was miraculously unhurt in the incident. The driver of the silver BMW X5 didn't stop at the scene in the February 3 accident, and police still have not been able to track them down.

"If you have any information about this tragedy you can speak up and tell our charity what you know. Lots of people mistakenly think we are part of the police.
