A severely disabled girl who relies on a mobility van was left stranded at home after the vehicle disappeared from her father’s driveway. Ten-year-old Rhian Rees, who suffers with spinal muscular atrophy, is a wheelchair user and the only way she can travel is via the van, her father Andrew Rees told WalesOnline.
He said the van was new and that he hadn’t long bought it to help his daughter see him and her grandmother twice a week. But at some point between Sunday and Monday this week the van disappeared from his driveway in Ty Sign, Risca.
“I use it to pick her up and take her to appointments obviously,” Andrew explained. “It’s a brilliant van for us. It’s got a lift in the back to lift her up in her wheelchair and it has anchor points in there to strap it down as well.
