Robert Hall had been visiting his dying mother — who had been diagnosed with motor neurone disease — at Withybush Hospital in the Welsh town of Pembrokeshire, on June 21, 2023, before taking his 8-month-old daughter Mabli Cariad Hall outside for a walk, according toWales Online.

On Jan. 23, 2025, Curtis was sentenced to four years in prison, as well as being “disqualified from driving for eight years and ordered to take an extended retest,” the CPS said in the release.

“She didn’t know what had happened to Mabli, I didn’t tell her. She wanted to know why I wasn’t there because I had been there next to her for the previous two and a half weeks, but I wasn’t there at the end,” he told the outlet.

In the interview, Hall — who was also “hit and thrown into a parking bay” when Curtis lost control of her vehicle — recalled somebody holding “Mabli’s lifeless body” on the day of the accident. “I’ll never be able to explain what that felt like,” he said.

Mabli’s funeral took place one day before Hall’s mother’s. “It’s just another part of this story that you couldn’t write,” he told the outlet. “I had nothing to do with my mum’s funeral, and I couldn’t be there when she died. All that was taken away from me.”

“The pain of that, the trauma of it all, is actually too much to process, to even begin to describe,” he added, per the publication.
