A 70-YEAR-OLD woman has been charged with causing death by dangerous driving more than a year after a tragic incident that claimed the life of an eight-month-old baby outside a Welsh hospital.

Bridget Carole Curtis, from Begelly, Pembrokeshire, is set to appear at Llanelli Magistrates’ Court on 22 August in connection with the death of Mabli Cariad Hall.

The incident occurred on 21 June 2023 outside Withybush Hospital in Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire. Mabli was in her pram when a white BMW struck it. The baby was airlifted to the University Hospital of Wales in Cardiff for initial treatment before being transferred to Bristol Royal Hospital for Children.

Tragically, Mabli succumbed to her injuries four days later, on 25 June. An inquest opened in July 2023 revealed that the infant died from severe traumatic brain injuries.

In a heartfelt statement released through Dyfed-Powys Police, Mabli’s family expressed their ongoing struggle with the loss: “This last year has been the most horrendous time of our lives. Our family life has been changed forever and to this day we are still trying to come to terms with what has happened”.

The family acknowledged the significance of the recent development, stating, “We understand we have more to come but this is the biggest step forward we’ve had since June last year”.

They also extended their gratitude to their support network: “We want to thank our friends, family and well-wishers who have supported us throughout this challenging time and will continue to support us as things progress. We will never forget that love and support shown to us and for the memory of our precious angel, Mabli Cariad”.

As the legal proceedings unfold, the community continues to remember the young life lost in this tragic incident.
