Woman charged with death of eight-month-old by dangerous driving

Eight-month-old, Mabli Cariad Hall, was in her pram outside a hospital when she was hit and killed by a white BMW.

She died from a severe traumatic brain injury at Bristol Royal Hospital for Children four days later.

Dyfed-Powys Police has confirmed that a woman has been charged following the collision outside Withybush General Hospital in Pembrokeshire last year.

A statement from Dyfed-Powys Police said: "A woman has been charged following the death of a baby in a collision outside Withybush General Hospital last year. Bridget Carole Curtis, aged 70, of Begelly, has been charged with causing the death of eight-month-old Mabli Cariad Hall by driving dangerously on June 21, 2023. She will appear at Llanelli Magistrates’ Court on Thursday, August 22.

Mabli’s family issued a statement to say: “As a family we wish to thank Dyfed-Powys Police for their diligence and professionalism over the last year and for how they have explained each step to us on our very difficult journey. Their patience and support has been invaluable.

“This last year has been the most horrendous time of our lives. Our family life has been changed forever and to this day we are still trying to come to terms with what has happened.

“Every day is a day of pain for us, even now, but as parents we still have to give the love and support our other children need as they are still trying to come to terms with losing their baby sister. The support offered by the 2Wish charity has been invaluable in assisting us as a family.

“We are grateful that we have now reached this stage of the process. We understand we have more to come but this is the biggest step forward we’ve had since June last year.

“We want to thank our friends, family and well-wishers and who have supported us throughout this challenging time and will continue to support us as things progress. We will never forget that love and support shown to us and for the memory of our precious angel, Mabli Cariad.”
