An eight-month-old baby girl has died at Bristol Royal Hospital for Children four days after being hit by a car. Mabli Cariad Hall was hit by a white BMW at Withybush Hospital in Pemrokeshire on June 21.
She was airlifted to Cardiff following the crash before later being transferred to Bristol. Sadly, Mabli died from her injuries yesterday morning (June 25).
The driver of the white BMW involved in the crash suffered serious injuries and is still in hospital. Meanwhile, two other people injured in the crash, who police identified as a passenger in the car and another pedestrian, have been discharged from hospital.

Family friend Sinead Morris said on social media that it was “with a heavy heart” that she had to announce on behalf of Mabli’s parents, Gwen and Rob, that her “injuries were too severe to be reversed”. She said: “Despite days of immense strength from Mabli, she peacefully crossed over the rainbow bridge in the loving arms of Gwen and Rob in the early hours of Sunday June 25 2023.
“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.
“Additionally, the family would like to extend their heartfelt appreciation to the compassionate chaplains of Bristol Royal Hospital for Children, whose guidance and support have brought solace and comfort.” An online fundraiser has raised more than £20,000 for the family.
A Dyfed-Powys Police spokesman said: “We can confirm the infant injured following a collision outside Withybush Hospital on June 21 sadly passed away at Bristol Children’s Hospital in the early hours of Sunday morning.
“The family are being supported by the hospital bereavement services and officers from Dyfed-Powys Police at this tragic time. The driver of the car remains in hospital with serious, non-life-threatening injuries.
“HM Coroner has been informed. Enquiries are ongoing.”
