🚗 Tragedy on Wales’ Roads 🚗
Over the past year, Welsh courts have seen heartbreaking cases where careless or dangerous drivers have taken lives. These aren’t just numbers; they’re stories of loss impacting families and communities forever. Let’s spotlight a few of these tragic incidents that remind us all of the responsibility we have when we hit the road.
You’ll remember Keely Morgan, a bright 15-year-old who survived a kidney transplant only to lose her life on a zebra crossing when driver Christopher West failed to see her. Despite negative drug and alcohol tests, his oversight led to a 16-month sentence.
And who can forget tiny Mabli Cariad Hall? Just eight months old, she was taken far too soon by Bridget Curtis after a horror accident outside Haverfordwest’s Withybush Hospital. Curtis, whose foot accidentally hit the accelerator, saw her sentence reduced on appeal.
Cyclist Clive Rogers was doing what he loved when his life was cut short in a Boxing Day collision. Witnesses say it felt like a “bomb going off.” His wife, riding behind, witnessed the unimaginable.
Young Tymon Turner will forever live with the guilt of putting his best friend in a fatal car crash while under the influence. His reckless choices ended in a tragic loss and a prison sentence.
Let’s not forget about Jack Llewellyn, whose erratic driving claimed the life of passenger Nicholas Page. Or Alex Rickwood, whose uninsured speed chase resulted in Catherine Bradford losing her life.
Each story is a stark reminder of the weight of our actions behind the wheel. Let’s drive with care and keep our roads safe for everyone.
🛑 Remember: Safety is in your hands every time you drive. Don’t speed, don’t drive impaired, and always be aware. 🛑
