A baby girl has died after being hit by a car while her dad put her in a pushchair outside a busy hospital.
Eight-month-old Mabli Hall suffered severe head injuries in the tragic incident outside Withybush Hospital in Haverfordwest last Wednesday.
The youngest of six children, Mabli was described as the ‘most beautiful, smiley and happy baby girl’.
She was being strapped into her pram by dad Rob Hall when the car hit her.
Mabli was then flown 100 miles to another hospital for specialist treatment after the horror smash but sadly died on Sunday.
The driver of the car and another pedestrian were also hurt in the ‘tragic accident’.
Family friend Sinead Morris said Mabli died in her parents’ arms after her injuries were ‘too severe’ to overcome.
On a fundraising page, Sinead 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 from Mabli, 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, Mabli sustained a severe head injury and was rendered unconscious, necessitating immediate medical attention.’
Mabli was airlifted to University Hospital of Wales in Cardiff for treatment and then transferred to Bristol Children’s Hospital.
Sinead described the tragedy as ‘this unimaginable ordeal.’
She said: ‘As parents, this is their worst nightmare, and the pain they are experiencing right now is indescribable.’
It said they ‘are already facing enough and I’d like to alleviate any additional worries they may have during this time of immense sadness by asking for support.’
Dyfed Powys Police placed a large cordon outside the hospital after the crash and appealed 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.’
