Baby killed as car struck her while father was placing her in a pram

A baby girl who was eight months old died after being struck by a car while being placed in a pushchair by her father.

In the Wednesday crash outside of Withybush Hospital in Haverfordwest, south Wales, Mabli Hall sustained serious head injuries.

She received medical attention by airlift at Cardiff’s University Hospital of Wales before being sent to Bristol Children’s Hospital.

Days later, Mabli, who was referred to be the “most beautiful, smiley and happy baby girl,” tragically passed away in her parents’ arms.

The driver of the car and a pedestrian were also hurt in the ‘tragic accident’.

Friend Sinead wrote on a fundraising page set up for the grieving family-of-seven.

She said: ‘Little Mabli sustained severe injuries in the collision that took place on Wednesday, June 21st 2023. Unfortunately, these injuries were too severe to be reversed.

‘Despite days of immense strength fromMabli,she peacefully crossed over the rainbow bridge in the loving arms of Gwen and Rob.’

Describing the crash, she said: ‘In a tragic accident, Mabli Hall while being put back into her pushchair by her dad Rob, was involved in a collision with a car.

‘As a result,Mablisustained a severe head injury and was rendered unconscious, necessitating immediate medical attention.’

The page was set up to help Mabli’s parents support the youngster’s five older siblings as mum Gwen is on maternity leave and Rob was off work to care for his ill mother. More than £20,000 has been raised so far.

Sinead added: ‘The family would like to express their deepest gratitude to the dedicated healthcare professionals who have been involved in Mabli’s care throughout this challenging period.

‘Their tireless efforts and unwavering commitment have meant the world to the family during these trying times.

‘The outpouring generosity from those who have donated and sent messages of love and support has touched their hearts deeply, and they are immensely grateful for each and every gesture of kindness.’

She added: ‘As parents, this is their worst nightmare, and the pain they are experiencing right now is indescribable.’

Dyfed Powys Police cordoned off an area outside the hospital after the crash and are appealing for witnesses to come forward.

A spokesman said: ‘Anyone with information or dashcam footage that could help officers with their investigation is asked to report it to Dyfed-Powys Police.’

An inquest is due to be held into the incident.
