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.”
