The baby was taken to a specialist hospital with head injuries, and the 34-year-old mum rushed to a different hospital with a fractured femur, according to Spanish reports.

Another woman, 47, copped a “catastrophic” foot injury and is in a serious condition, reports say.

The crash is thought to have occurred just after 4pm in the city‘s Salamanca district.

Video showing aftermath of the incident was circulating on X on Sunday.

People are seen lying on the footpath with witnesses at their aid.

A police car is up on the same footpath and appears bashed and torn at the front with the window wipers waving.

A concerned crowd of people gather around the car, as others kneel down to help.

In a video from a different angle, another police car is seen arriving at the scene.

The car is thought to have come up onto the pavement “at high speed”.

It was rushing to a scene with its lights and siren on when another car came out in front of it, according to ABC Madrid.

Attempting to avoid a crash, the police car swerved but lost control and came onto the pavement, the report says.
