POLICE are appealing for video footage that can help identify a driver going the WRONG WAY down the busy A448 Bromsgrove Highway.
This paper revealed last week that a shaken mum says she owes her life to an alert HGV driver after a near-miss with the motorist.
Jade Bradbury was driving from Redditch to Bromsgrove down the dual carriageway – the main route between the towns – when she was almost hit by the campervan around lunchtime on Friday.

Along with her partner and mother, Jade was on her way to pick up her children when her car was just missed by the errant vehicle - luckily a lorry driver had warned her of the danger.
Jade told the Advertiser: “If we were hit, I don’t think we would have made it to pick the kids up. I’m so grateful to the HGV driver.
“Not long after the Foxlydiate pub bridge, the HGV was flashing us a lot and we were thinking ‘why is he flashing us?’
“Next minute we saw a black car heading into us and luckily we could swerve into the next lane to avoid a head-on smash. I honestly think it could have killed us.”
Jade was not the only motorist who had a near escape – police confirmed to the Advertiser that they had received multiple reports of a VW campervan travelling on the wrong side of the A448.
Posting on social media, police said: "We are appealing for video footage that can help identify a driver after a VW Campervan travelled the wrong way down the Bromsgrove Highway (A448) on October 11.
