I watched in horror as my baby’s lifeless body was pulled from wreckage after car slammed into her pram outside hospital

A DEVASTATED father watched his "lifeless" baby being pulled from car wreckage just after he was told his mother was on her deathbed.

Rob Hall was visiting his dying mother at Withybush Hospital, Pembrokeshire, when his daughter Mabli was hit by a car and killed.

Rob, from Neath, has spoken out for the first time since the horror collision and shared the "hell" his family is enduring.

He told Wales Online: "You can't see what the future is.

"We are all lost without Mabli but we're supporting our other children and getting them through it all."

The tragic crash happened on June 21, 2023, just after Rob was told his mother was on her deathbed after being diagnosed with motor neurone disease.

He had raced 100 miles across Wales to be with his dying mother only for one tragedy to be overshadowed by another.

As they were saying goodbye to Rob's mother, with baby Mabli holding her hand, they decided to step outside to process the grevious news.

Rob told his brother he was going for a walk with his daughter when suddenly a car lurched towards him and the pram.

He said: "All of a sudden I heard this horrible revving and screeching.

"The next thing I see is this white car, airborne. I was hit and thrown into a parking bay.'

The white BMW was driven by businesswoman, Bridget Curtis, when it careered into the family, knocking Rob down and crushing the pram.

Rob's pain was completely eclipsed by panic as he frantically searched for his baby daughter, with three nurses helping him stand.

"What mattered is where Mabli was. Nobody could see Mabli," he continued.

"The next thing I remember is somebody walking past me holding Mabli's lifeless body.

"I'll never be able to explain what that felt like."

Patients and visitors in the waiting room were screaming as the tot's mum, Gwen, was told to urgently go to the emergency without being told why.

She rushed from the bedside of Rob's dying mother to A&E where she found her daughter being desperately treated by doctors and nurses.

Little Mabli was then airlifted to the University Hospital of Wales in Cardiff where her despairing parents were told to wait in a small room for several before they could see their baby girl.

Rob said it was the longest time Gwen had ever been away from her and there were "no words" to describe how heartbreaking" it was.

Mabli was moved to a children's hospital in Bristol and two days after the incident Rob and Gwen were told she likely would not make it.

He added: "As soon as I was told I just went sick everywhere.

"It was the most horrific thing you could ever hear in your life."

For Rob, the horrors didn't stop there and he was told by his brother that his mother was in her final hours.

He found a bench and Facetimed her, without telling her what had happened to her granddaughter as she asked him where he was.

Two hours later he was told his mother had passed away while he sat next to his baby who was fighting for her life, being kept alive with machines.

After Mabli's brothers and sisters came to say goodbye their parents made the heart-wrenching decision to switch the machines off.

They begged doctors to hold on until the next day as Gwen's sister-in-law was in labour and they didn't want her cousin's birthday to be forever tied to the tragic anniversary.

The machines were eventually switched off and at 12.30am on Sunday, June 25, Mabli Hall died.

Losing his daughter meant Rob couldn't be there with his mother when she passed away and he also "had nothing to do" with her funeral.

One week before what would have been Mabli's second birthday Bridget Curtis, pleaded guilty to causing death by dangerous driving at Swansea Crown Court.

She was sentenced to four years in prison after unseen dashcam footage was shown that was "too harrowing" to be publicly shared.

The judge said it was difficult to imagine driving that was "more reckless and more dangerous."

Heartfelt tributes poured in for Rob and Gwen and a fundraiser was started for the family.

After the sentencing, Gwen said: ";She will always be a part of our lives, every single day, and we think about her all the time.

"She was the happiest baby I have ever known."
