JUST five months after being critically injured in a devastating car crash a young landlady has been involved in a second road collision.

Leila Connolly, aged 23, was taken to Withybush Hospital with a broken pelvis after a head-on collision, between a red Ford Focus and a red Ford Fiesta, near New Moat, Clarbeston Road, Haverfordwest, at 8.30pm, on Sunday night.

Leila's mother Jane, from Honoeyborough, Neyland, told the Western Telegraph that her daughter was on her way to dance rehearsals and had hoped to represent Wales in a national competition.

She said: "Leila is devastated, for this to happen again, and so soon after she had returned to dancing. She is a lot better in herself than last time, though.

"I just feel it is like Groundhog Day, for her to be so unlucky twice, I'm just in a trance really."

Jane, and Leila's father Malcolm, are currently by her hospital bed. She added they did not know how long Leila would be in hospital for.

Firefighters had to cut one person free from a car and four casualties were taken to hospital by ambulance.

One man had serious, but not life-threatening, injuries. The road was closed for around four hours.

Leila is well-known in the area and was recently welcomed back to work with a toga party at the Cross Inn, Clarbeston Road, where she also lives.

Barworker at the Cross Inn, Barbara Kirkby, said: "It is terrible that this has happened just when she was getting better and had come back to work.

"We are all just trying to keep it together and wishing her the best."

Leila needed a heart operation and suffered a broken pelvis in the previous accident that happened at Clarberston Road in the early hours of November 14th and left her fighting for her life.

She spent more than a month in hospital after that collision which claimed the life of 18-year-old David Griffiths, from Little Milford.
