Kayley O’Connell: Tributes have poured in for the young woman

TRIBUTES have been paid to Kayley O’Connell who sadly died in a road traffic collision on the B4314, Narberth to Princess Gate road, on Sunday (Feb 5).

Kayley was one of two victims who died in the incident. The identity of the second person has not yet been released publicly.

Her family said: “We would like to say as a family that we have lost the most caring, loving soul who would do anything for anyone. It was far too soon to lose our Kayley in this awful tragic way.

“Many thanks to everyone for their kind supportive words.  We are also blown away by everyone’s generosity on the just giving page.”

Dyfed-Powys Police are appealing for anyone with information about the incident to contact them  by calling 101.

The vehicle was a yellow Volkswagen Beetle.

Roads Policing Unit Sergeant Martin Vaughan said: “Tragically, the male driver and a female passenger sustained fatal injuries, but a further male passenger was conveyed to Glangwili Hospital, where he remains in a serious but stable condition.

“Next of kin have been informed and are being supported by specialist officers. I am appealing to anyone who witnessed the collision, or was travelling along that stretch of road between 1.15am and 1.25am and may have information that will assist the investigation to contact us by calling 101.”

Tenby 10k raises more than £20,000 for Paul Sartori

Published

on

A POPULAR Tenby road race has raised more than £20,000 for Paul Sartori Hospice at Home.

Runners and sponsors taking part in last year’s Tenby 10k raised £20,559.07 for the Pembrokeshire charity, which provides hospice care to people in their own homes.

The race, organised by Waterfront Community Runners, took place in October 2025 and was well supported by locals and visitors, who lined the route through the town to cheer on competitors.

Laura Hugman, Chief Executive of Paul Sartori, has now received the cheque, presented by a selection of those who took part in the event.

This year’s Tenby 10k will take place on Sunday, October 25, 2026, on a closed-road, two-lap course through the centre of Tenby.

More than 400 runners have already signed up, with entries now past 40 per cent capacity and organisers expecting the event to sell out again.

Anyone wishing to take part can enter at www.waterfrontcommunityrunners.co.uk.

All proceeds from this year’s race will again be donated to the Paul Sartori Foundation.
