Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A woman has escaped unscathed after being crushed between three cars while attempting to cross a busy road in Birmingham.
The terrifying high speed crash, which was caught on a nearby shop’s CCTV camera, shows a woman wearing white attempting to cross Birmingham’s busy Alum Rock Road between two parked cars.
As a silver car edges out of a junction opposite, a red hatchback races along the packed road.
After it smashes into the silver car, the speeding hatchback careers into the line of parked vehicles, slamming the silver car into the woman.
Incredibly, the woman managed to escape the accident with only ‘non-life threatening head injuries’.
Another woman and a 10-year-old boy were also injured in the pile-up but are expected to make a full recovery.
Nobody has yet been arrested for the crash, which occurred at 3.40pm on October 20.
