Families pay tribute after two men killed in A40 crash

The single‑vehicle crash happened in the early hours of Sunday morning, 14 September, between Haverfordwest and Treffgarne.

One of those who died was 18‑year‑old Aled Bowen. In a statement, his family said:

“It is with profound sorrow that we share the passing of our beloved, Aled. He was a cherished son, a devoted brother and uncle and a source of love and strength to everyone fortunate enough to know him.

Aled left us on 14.09.25, and while our hearts are broken, we hold tightly to the memories of his laughter and the countless ways he enriched our lives. His kindness and spirit will live with us forever.

In this time of grief, we ask for privacy and understanding as our family navigates this immense loss. We are deeply grateful for the compassion and prayers we have already received from everyone.

Arrangements to honour Aled’s life will be shared in the coming days. For now, we take comfort in remembering him not only as a son and a brother but as someone whose presence made the world brighter.”

The second victim has been named as 23‑year‑old Aled Coleman, from Scleddau. His family said:

“Aled was caring, kind, fun loving and will be massively missed by all his family.”

Dyfed‑Powys Police confirmed that both men’s next of kin are being supported by specialist officers. The Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service said a crew from Haverfordwest Fire Station was called to the scene at 3.17am.

Fatal collision in Llanelli sparks calls for safety measures on Station Road

A male pedestrian was fatally injured after being struck by a motorcycle near the Home Bargains store on Station Road, Llanelli, at approximately 9.55pm on Friday 1 August.

Emergency services, including Ambulance and Air Ambulance teams, attended the scene and provided first aid, but the man sadly died at the scene.

Dyfed Powys Police confirmed that a 21-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of Causing Death by Dangerous Driving and other related offences. He remains in custody. Officers are not seeking anyone else in connection with the incident.

The road was closed overnight and reopened on Saturday 2 August. The victim’s family has been informed and is receiving support from specialist officers.

Police are appealing for witnesses or anyone with dash cam or Ring Doorbell footage to come forward.

Petition launched to demand safety upgrades on Station Road

In response to the fatal collision, a new petition has been launched urging Carmarthenshire Council to install traffic calming measures on Station Road.

The petition, titled “Install Safety Measures on Station Road, Llanelli”, highlights the dangers posed by speeding vehicles in a busy pedestrian area lined with shops, takeaways, and hairdressers.

“Too many people are ending up losing their lives or ending up seriously injured due to motorists being able to drive at dangerously high speeds,” the petition states.

Campaigners are calling for the installation of speed bumps, speed cameras, and frequent pedestrian crossings to reduce accidents and protect residents.

Citing national data, the petition notes that such measures can reduce accidents by up to 50%. It urges local authorities to act swiftly to prevent further tragedies.

The petition was created on 2 August and is gathering signatures from residents and visitors concerned about road safety in Llanelli.

Family pays tribute to 18-year-old Sally Allen following fatal A40 collision

The family of Sally Allen, an 18-year-old from Cresswell Quay, Kilgetty, have paid heartfelt tribute following her death in a collision on the A40 at Broadoak, between Carmarthen and Llandeilo, on Wednesday morning, July 23.

Sally died after a crash involving a red Renault Clio and a blue Audi Q5. In a statement released by Dyfed Powys Police, her family described her as “endlessly caring, unintentionally hilarious and the most amazing supportive and joyful person.”

They added:

“Sally was a much-loved sister to William and Issie, and a treasured daughter of Richard and Kate. She was a beloved granddaughter to Nanna, Bamps, Nanny and Pops and was loved by all her aunties, uncles and cousins. She had a large number of friends and was very popular with everyone who knew her.

In only 18 years of her life, she touched the hearts of so many people within her community, her school, her work and social life. She was a girl who found happiness in attending Young Farmers Club, including Martletwy YFC. She enjoyed horse riding and her day-to-day life at home in Cresswell Quay.

Sally lit up any room she entered with her smile and personality. Since her death it has become apparent how much Sally was loved and cherished. Her sudden absence leaves an unfillable space in the lives so many people that knew and loved her.

The Allen family is devastated, in shock and is being comforted and supported by family and friends.”

Police appeal for witnesses

Dyfed Powys Police are continuing to investigate the circumstances of the collision and are appealing for witnesses. Officers are particularly keen to hear from anyone who was travelling along the A40 at Broadoak around 8am on Wednesday, July 23, and may have dash camera footage.

Information can be submitted:

Alternatively, information can be shared anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555111 or at crimestoppers-uk.org.
