A teenager was airlifted to hospital on Saturday afternoon after a car crash which happened as he was on his way to watch his brother and friends play football.

Seventeen-year-old Nathan Millward of North Close, Saundersfoot is currently said to be in a "critically ill but stable" condition at the University Hospital of Wales, Cardiff.

He was flown to the hospital by Wales Air Ambulance following the two-car collision by the Redberth turn-off on the A477.

Nathan was a rear seat passenger in a Ford Fiesta which was involved in a collision with a Mazda MX5 car.

The three other occupants of the Fiesta - Nathan's brother Chris, aged 19; Rhys Bates, aged 18 and Laurence Rogers, aged 24 - were all taken to Withybush Hospital by ambulance for treatment, together with the occupants of the Mazda, a Pembroke couple in their 60s.

The road was closed in both directions for around four hours after the crash at 1.54pm. Three fire engines also attended the scene and fire crews used hydraulic cutting equipment to release one of the boys in the Fiesta and a woman in the Mazda.

Police are asking anyone who witnessed the accident to call the Pembrokeshire Roads Policing Unit on 101.
