Family seeking help following sibling’s serious bike crash

A FAMILY are hoping to raise funds to help pay for accommodation and living costs after a brother and sister were seriously injured in a motorcycle accident earlier this month.
Danny and Cherie-Ann Swift were involved in an accident with a tractor on the Old Hakin Road, near the former Murco Refinery, in Milford Haven, on July 10.
Danny was airlifted to Cardiff, and Cherie-Ann was flown to Swansea, both in critical condition.
Now, Danny is fighting for his life in the ITC Critical Care Unit and Cherie-Ann is still in hospital but recovering.
A JustGiving campaign has been started to help raise funds to help the family visit and support the siblings.
So far, over £500 has been raised towards the £1000 target.
Charlene Swift wrote on the JustGiving page: “Danny is, unfortunately, fighting for his life with a number of injuries in the ITC Critical Care unit at The Heath Hospital Cardiff after a serious road traffic accident.
“His sister Cherie-Ann who was also involved luckily escaped without life threatening injuries and is on the mend at Morriston Hospital Swansea.
“Our plea today is to ask for support in any way possible to help contribute to our accommodation and living costs to remain close to Danny and be able to continue our support for Cherie-Ann.
“This has been a shock to us all and please if you have anything to spare it will be greatly received no matter how large or small.”
Following the incident, a Dyfed-Powys Police spokesperson told the Herald: “The collision happened shortly before 6.35pm this evening (10 July). The road is currently closed while collision investigation takes place, and is expected to remain closed for some time.
“The motorbike had been travelling from the Tiers Cross direction. The rider and pillion have been airlifted to hospital with serious injuries.
“Officers are appealing for any information which could help the investigation.
“Anyone who witnessed the collision or saw the vehicles beforehand is urged to contact Pembrokeshire Roads Policing Unit by calling 101.”

Fire service delivers vital kit to Ukraine

Wales joins UK’s largest firefighting aid convoy
MID and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service (MAWWFRS) has taken part in the UK’s largest ever convoy delivering vital firefighting equipment to Ukraine, joining 17 other Fire and Rescue Services (FRSs) from across the country.
The convoy, coordinated by FIRE AID and supported by the UK Government, left the UK in early April. It travelled through France, Germany and Poland, delivering over 30 fire service vehicles and more than 15,000 items of equipment to support Ukrainian firefighters on the front line of the ongoing war.
Since the Russian invasion in 2022, UK fire services have donated 119 vehicles and over 200,000 pieces of equipment to Ukraine. Each participating service ensured local needs were met before donating surplus kit.
Watch Manager Rob Kershaw represented MAWWFRS on the convoy. He said:
“It’s been a privilege to be part of this convoy and to represent both FIRE AID and Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service.
We received invaluable support and assistance from fire and police services across every country we passed through. Their help in coordinating, escorting, and hosting the convoy was outstanding.”
Chief Fire Officer Roger Thomas KFSM added:
“MAWWFRS is proud to support our colleagues in Ukraine by donating and delivering essential equipment.
The events in Ukraine have deeply affected the fire and rescue community, and this convoy is a demonstration of our ongoing commitment to helping those still working under extreme conditions.”
The donated equipment will support firefighters in Ukraine who continue to operate in war zones to save lives and protect property—often at great personal risk. Since the conflict began, 100 Ukrainian firefighters have been killed and 431 injured. A total of 411 fire stations and 1,700 firefighting vehicles have been destroyed.
