Newgale: Holidaymaker found someone 'trapped under car' after Pembrokeshire campsite crash

A holidaymaker ran to help people injured after a car crashed into a busy family campsite in Pembrokeshire.

Glen Mills told ITV News he was putting his family to bed when the crash happened at Newgale Campsite on Saturday night.

Mr Mills, who was one of the first on scene, said he saw the car on four wheels but "a person was trapped underneath."

  • "People were just screaming and running around"

He said: "You could see one guy's legs hanging out underneath the driver's door.

Mr Mills said that he could hear the man "moaning", adding that his instinct was to roll the car off him.

With the help of others, Mr Mills was able to roll the car onto its side, allowing the person trapped to be rescued.

"I dropped to my knees and put my hand on his head to check if he was breathing."

He went onto to say: "It's something you don't expect to witness when you're putting family to bed and you find somebody lying underneath a car, crushed."
