0:16:00 > 0:16:03- ..when he turned to cross the road.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06- He didn't notice the van behind him.
0:16:09 > 0:16:13- The van - tried to swerve to avoid him.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15- But the driver couldn't avoid him.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23- Mel Thomas was on duty in Swansea.
0:16:23 > 0:16:27- The van's mirror - hit the back of his head.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31- Nick was thrown into the air - and landed on his back.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35- He was unconscious - with blood pouring from his head.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38- He was in a critical condition.
0:16:41 > 0:16:45- The journey to Llangennech from the - Swansea air base took three minutes.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47- The crew was on its way.
0:16:47 > 0:16:51- Gareth Williams was another - of the paramedics on board.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55- We landed in the field - adjacent to the road...

0:17:00 > 0:17:04- The child was lying down, - motionless.
0:17:05 > 0:17:10- That's when I thought, - this is looking very serious now.

0:17:18 > 0:17:20- He was still flat, a GCS of three.

0:17:23 > 0:17:27- It was obvious that Nick - had sustained brain damage.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31- What set the alarm bells off - for me...
0:17:32 > 0:17:35- ..was the fact - that his teeth were locked shut.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37- It's what we call trismus.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40- That is one of - the tell-tale signs...
0:17:40 > 0:17:45- ..that a serious brain injury - has occurred.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48- Because his teeth - were firmly closed...
0:17:48 > 0:17:52- ..it was difficult to clear - his airways with suction.
0:17:53 > 0:17:58- Because there was so much blood - down in his throat too...
0:18:00 > 0:18:03- ..we couldn't use - the suction tools...
0:18:03 > 0:18:05- ..to extract the blood.

0:18:30 > 0:18:34- I looked at Gareth and there was - a recognition between us...
0:18:35 > 0:18:37- ..that this was serious.
0:18:37 > 0:18:41- We decided to do what's known - in the job as a scoop and run.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43- One, two, three, back.
0:18:44 > 0:18:49- After fitting him with a collar, the - crew tied Nick to the spinal board.

0:19:23 > 0:19:28- When he arrived, medics put Nick to - sleep in order to open his mouth...
0:19:28 > 0:19:31- ..and clear the blood - from his throat.

0:20:51 > 0:20:55- When they said who he was, - I was on cloud nine.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57- I was absolutely on cloud nine.
0:20:57 > 0:21:01- It always seems worse - when children are involved.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03- It's a bigger blow.
