Nine people have been injured after a car veered off the road and crashed into a campsite in Pembrokeshire.
Two of the victims are said to be in a serious condition in hospital after a blue Ford Fiesta collided with a number of people and a tent at Newgale campsite shortly after 10.30pm on Saturday.
Campsite owner Mike Harris described scenes of “carnage” when the car went over into a ditch before rolling into a tent and ploughing into a group of people, with a baby in the tent only escaping severe injuries because it was in a cot.
Mr Harris, who runs the campsite with his wife Clare, told the BBC the car had to be lifted to save casualties stuck underneath the vehicle. He said some had been seriously injured, although it could have been a “lot worse”.
The car is believed to have been travelling from the village of Roch towards St Davids with “a number of” passengers when it crashed off the A487.
Dyfed Powys Police said passengers in the car were among those injured.
One person was airlifted to the University Hospital of Wales, the Welsh Ambulance Service said.
South Wales Fire and Rescue Service also attended the scene.
The road was initially closed to allow for police investigations but reopened on Sunday morning.
Dyfed Powys Police said on Sunday: “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.”
A Welsh Ambulance Service spokesperson told The Independent: “We were called yesterday at around 10.40pm to reports of an incident at Newgale Campsite, Pembrokeshire.
“We sent six emergency ambulances, one duty operations manager, one Cymru high acuity response unit and our crews were supported on scene by the emergency medical and retrieval transfer service and search and rescue helicopter.
“One patient was flown to University Hospital of Wales, four patients were taken by road to Glangwilli Hospital, and one patient was taken by road to Morriston Hospital.”
The Independent has approached South Wales Fire and Rescue Service for comment.
