A businesswoman who faces jail after running over and killing a baby in a pushchair was to appear in court, but then she suffered from a suspected heart attack just hours before she was due in court.
HOW IT HAPPENED
Baby girl Mabli Cariad Hall – the youngest of six children – was being placed into her pram by her father Rob when wealthy Bridget Curtis’ BMW crashed into her.
The eight-month-old baby, whose first name is Welsh for ‘lovable’ and middle name means ‘love’, died four days later after suffering from severe brain injuries.
Mabli died in her parents arms after her injuries were ‘too severe’ to overcome.
Curtis, 70, admitted causing Mabli’s death by dangerous driving in the tragedy outside Withybush General Hospital in Haverfordwest, Pemrokeshire, West Wales.
The company director of one of Wales’s biggest chicken farms was due to appear at Swansea Crown Court today for sentence but fell ill and was assessed in hospital for a suspected heart attack.
The judge adjourned the sentencing to a date to be fixed but ordered an administrative hearing be held in two weeks time so the court could receive an update on Curtis’ health.
