Baby girl died from traumatic brain injuries after she was hit by BMW while in her pram outside hospital
A BABY girl died from traumatic brain injuries after she was hit by a BMW while in her pram outside a hospital, an inquest heard.
Mabli Cariad Hall was struck by the car outside Withybush Hospital in Pembrokeshire, Wales, last month.
The eight-month-old was airlifted to Bristol Children’s Hospital but tragically couldn’t be saved and died four days later.
An inquest heard today how Mabli’s cause of death was given as severe traumatic brain injuries.
The full hearing was adjourned until January 25 due to the ongoing police investigation.
Mabli’s parents and grandparents attended the inquest opening today.
Emergency crews were scrambled to the hospital at around 11.50am on June 21 after the BMW crashed into her and another pedestrian.
Mabli, who was in her pram at the time of the horror, tragically passed away on June 25.
The driver was treated in hospital for serious but non-life threatening injuries along with a passenger in the car.
A second pedestrian struck by the BMW was also taken to hospital but later discharged.
Following her death, Mabli’s parents, Rob and Gwen Hall released a heartbreaking tribute.
They said: “We are absolutely heartbroken by the death of our beautiful baby girl, Mabli.
“She was adored by us and her five siblings, and brought us so much joy in her short life.
“We will always remember Mabli’s beautiful little smile and cherish the time we had with her.
“We would like to thank everyone who tried to help us at such a tragic time; the people who were there when it happened, the emergency services who came to our aid and the amazing staff at Withybush, the Heath in Cardiff and Bristol Children’s Hospital.
“Their strength and support allowed us to focus on Mabli.”
