A 70-year-old woman has appeared in court over the death of a baby who was hit by a car outside a hospital last year.

Bridget Curtis is charged with causing the death of Mabli Cariad Hall by dangerous driving.

Mabli, who was eight months old when she died, was in her pram when a car struck it outside Withybush Hospital in Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire on 21 June last year.

The baby was initially airlifted to the University Hospital of Wales in Cardiff for treatment.

She was transferred to Bristol Royal Hospital for Children but died four days later.

An inquest opened in July last year heard Mabli had died of severe traumatic brain injuries.

Mabli's family said their daughter was a "precious angel" and that they will never forget the "love and support" they have received.

At a short hearing at Llanelli Magistrates' Court on Thursday, Curtis spoke only to confirm her name, date of birth and address.

She did not enter a plea and the case was sent to Swansea Crown Court.
