Driver involved in fatal accident at Withybush Hospital suffers heart attack
In a tragic turn of events, Bridget Curtis, the driver responsible for the death of eight-month-old Mabli Hall in a crash outside Withybush Hospital, has suffered a suspected heart attack. Curtis, aged 70, was scheduled for sentencing but was unable to attend her hearing due to the medical emergency. The incident, which occurred in June 2023 in Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire, led to the untimely death of young Mabli Hall from Neath. She was lovingly referred to as “the apple of her family’s eye.”
Curtis, a resident of Begelly, Pembrokeshire, had previously pleaded guilty to causing death by dangerous driving and was out on bail awaiting sentencing. However, Swansea Crown Court was informed that she had been taken ill with a suspected heart attack on the day of her hearing and was admitted to Withybush Hospital for treatment. As a result, the sentencing was adjourned to a later date, with the case set to be revisited on December 5.
Following Mabli’s tragic passing, her family released a heartfelt statement expressing their profound grief and the lasting impact of their loss. They described the immense pain they continue to endure every day, highlighting the struggle to cope with the loss of their beloved baby daughter while also providing support to their other children as they navigate this difficult period.
The community has been deeply affected by the events surrounding Mabli’s death, with condolences pouring in for her family during this challenging time. The unexpected health scare faced by Bridget Curtis has added another layer of complexity to an already tragic situation, leaving many to reflect on the fragile nature of life and the unforeseen circumstances that can alter the course of events in an instant.
As the legal proceedings are put on hold to address Curtis’s medical condition, the local community remains in mourning for the loss of young Mabli Hall and continues to offer support to her family during this period of profound sorrow. The forthcoming court date on December 5 will provide an opportunity to revisit the case and determine the next steps in light of these recent developments, as the community grapples with the aftermath of this heartbreaking incident.
