Nine people have been injured after a motorist lost control of their car, veered off a road and crashed into a campsite.
The vehicle ploughed into people and a tent at Newgale campsite in Haverfordwest on the Pembrokeshire coast, west Wales, shortly after 10.30pm on Saturday.
The blue Ford Fiesta was carrying a number of passengers, who were among those injured. Two of those hurt are said to be in a serious condition in hospital.
The Welsh ambulance service said one person had been airlifted to the University hospital of Wales.
The co-owner of Newgale campsite said that a baby in a cot was inside a tent that was hit by.
Clare Harris, who runs the campsite with her husband, Mike, told PA news agency: “The car was speeding down the hill, realised it needed to slow down and tried to brake. It flipped and rolled several times, and crashed into the tent.
“There was a young child, a baby, in the tent at the time – thankfully they are OK. .”
The car is believed to have been travelling from the village of Roch towards St Davids when it crashed off the A487.
Dyfed-Powys police said on Sunday: “The road was closed to allow investigations and reopened at around 7.45am today.
“Officers are appealing for any information regarding the vehicle, a blue Ford Fiesta, and its occupants.
“We are especially interested in any dashcam footage or doorbell footage which may have captured the vehicle being driven from Roch to the scene of the collision at Newgale.”
