A woman and two young children are in a “stable condition” in hospital after they were hit by a car outside a Berrow holiday camp on Friday evening.

“A car was in a collision with a woman and two young children. All three sustained serious injuries,” a Police spokesman told Burnham-On-Sea.com.
“The woman was airlifted to Southmead Hospital and the two children were airlifted to Bristol Children’s Hospital.”

Three air ambulances landed in the village on land around Unity Farm during the incident, to help air-lift the three casualties to hospital.
Staff at Unity Farm had to direct arriving holidaymakers along alternative routes to reach the park on one of the busiest days of the whole year.
A number of roads were closed for several hours on Friday evening, including Coast Road, South Road, Coat Road and Hurn Lane. Bus services were also diverted around the scene.
