Girl, 12, is fighting for her life after firey three-car crash injured seven: Man, 20, and passenger arrested over smash
A 12-year-old girl has been hospitalised with life threatening injuries after she was involved in a 'horrendous' three-car pile-up. Another girl, 13, was also airlifted to a hospital in North Wales after the horror crash, alongside five others who similarly have serious or life-changing injuries. Police attended the smash in Bodfari, Denbighshire yesterday evening which saw one of the cars go up in flames. A young man, 20, was arrested on suspicion of causing serious injuries by dangerous driving after he was taken to hospital with slight injuries. The BMW driver has since been released under investigation. A second man was arrested, who was the passenger in a Mercedes, and remains in hospital with serious injuries. The driver of his car remains at Ysbyty Glan Clwyd with serious, life-changing injuries. The two girls were in the same car - an Audi Q3 - with a female driver and female passenger who are in hospital with serious, life-changing injuries. It was reported that two people had to drag out a driver from one of the blazing cars that had become a 'ball of flames'. Tony Johnson told the BBC he heard a 'tremendous bang' from his home nearby before rushing to see the cars go up in flames 'within two minutes'. The heroic neighbour said he rescued a driver alongside another local by puling them from the flaming vehicle. He explained that the collision spot was a 'nasty blind bend' where a 40mph zone in the village changes to 60mph. Accidents have happened here before but never 'as bad as this one', he said. Scott Davidson, whose fence was crashed into by the car, said it was a 'horrendous' sight. He believed around 20 to 30 emergency service workers were treating the people involved in the accident. Detective Sergeant Katie Davies of the Serious Collision Investigation Unit said their 'thoughts remain with all who are in hospital' while announcing an investigation into the pile-up. She urged anyone with information to come forward, while thanking those who already had. 'This includes anybody who may have been travelling in the area and who may have dash cam footage showing the silver BMW 118 and Silver Mercedes being driven prior to the collision,' she said. 'I would like to thank the local community and motorists for their patience whilst the road was closed to allow our officers and staff to carry out their initial enquiries. 'And I would like to remind the public that our teams are undertaking a careful and thorough investigation, and as arrests have been made, I would urge the public not to speculate or make any comments on social media that may prejudice any future potential legal proceedings.'
