The woman was reportedly spotted leaving the scene in Page Heath Lane on Friday night with her baby in hand.
Police were called around 11pm and attended the crash scene along with the fire brigade.

Police said the mum also admitted to having no baby seat in the car before it crashed.
A Bromley police statement read: "Social services are aware and providing advice and support for the family.
"The mother will be attending Bromley Magistrates' Court in the future."
She was charged with drink-driving and child neglect but police have not named her to protect the baby’s identity.
