A young ash tree, barely nine inches thick, saved a coach carrying 30 young people from toppling into a 150-foot ravine after leaving the road at Kilanow Corner on the Carmarthen-Tenby road, near Stepaside, on Easter Monday. It was one of the most remarkable escapes ever at a spot notorious for dramatic accidents.
