When the witness got to a straight bit of road at Belan, he saw the rear of the BMW "fishtail" as it lost control and swerved into the oncoming lane.Mr Philpotts said Mr Jenkins was driving his wife's Toyota Yaris entirely properly in other direction, with his son Ioan in the passenger seat. The car was hit head on by the BMW and Mr Jenkins died at the scene.Ioan was airlifted to Alder Hey Children's Hospital in Liverpool with serious injuries.In this trial the jury was told it will hear from a witness who came to help and heard the two men say, "come on, let's go".The trial continues.WalesWelshpoolManchester
