A 10-year-old boy is "lucky to be alive" after he was trapped under a car when he collided with the vehicle while riding his scooter. Leo Penson, from Pembrokeshire, was airlifted to hospital on Friday after he was extracted from beneath the Skoda by emergency crews.
He is now in a stable condition at the University Hospital of Wales where he is receiving treatment for his extensive injuries. Family friend Gem Louise Phillips, who set up a JustGiving page to help Leo’s family cover some of the financial costs of his recovery process, said: "Leo has five dislodged broken ribs, three fractured ribs, a punctured lung caused by the dislodged broken ribs, and he’s also broken all of his right side with two broken bones in his right leg which means he is going to be plastered from hip to ankle. We also understand that he has suffered bruising to his intestines."
