A mother has thanked two strangers who rescued her nine-month-old baby from her burning car moments before it was engulfed in flames.

Alex McClean from Ebbw Vale, Blaenau Gwent, was driving along a dual carriageway when her car began to smoke and, although she managed to get out, she struggled to open any of the other doors to get her child.

As flames spread, Wesley Beynon and his uncle Marc Willding, stopped to help, with Wesley managing to enter through the driver's door to free Lilah and Marc pulling her to safety.

The group reunited on Saturday and Alex said Lilah would grow up knowing about the men who saved her life, adding she would never forget their heroism.

Alex, 21, was driving along the A465 at Merthyr Tydfil, at about 13:20 GMT on Wednesday, to take Lilah to a playgroup when her car suddenly began to lose power.
