A family whose daughter ended up in hospital following an alleged hit and run has blasted the police after claiming they took days to respond. Ruby Nurse, 11, had been out playing on her electric scooter with friends in Llwynhendy in Llanelli when they say she was clipped by a car and thrown onto the pavement.
The youngster suffered a sprained wrist, bad bruising to her right leg and the skin came off her right knee following the incident outside a primary school on the junction of Dwyfor and Heol Elfed. Her dad Dave Nurse, 40, of Lon Ceiriog in Llwynhendy, said he couldn’t believe the amount of time it took him to get a police response given they live directly opposite the police station.
It has led him to report the matter to the Independent Office for Police Conduct. Dyfed Powys Police said efforts were made to get further details the day after the incident. You can follow more of our stories from Carmarthenshire by subscribing to our daily newsletter here.
