Couple killed in A477 collision as driver admits causing deaths
Wet conditions and loss of control cited as defendant pleads guilty at Swansea Crown Court
A DRIVER has admitted causing the deaths of two young Pembrokeshire people after his car crossed onto the wrong side of the road and collided with their vehicle.
At Swansea Crown Court, Alexander MacCallum, 28, of Beach Road, Llanreath, pleaded guilty to two counts of causing death by careless driving following the fatal crash on the A477 road.
Katie Worrell, aged 25, from Pembroke, and Adam Muskett, aged 27, from Tenby, were travelling together in a Ford Fiesta when it was struck by MacCallum’s Jaguar during heavy, wet conditions at around 4:00pm on June 13, 2024.

Prosecutor Craig Jones told the court the defendant’s vehicle lost control and drifted across the centre line. The loss of control was described as “momentary”, with standing water on the carriageway believed to have contributed.
The impact proved fatal for both occupants of the Fiesta.
MacCallum accepted responsibility for what happened and expressed remorse for the consequences of his driving.
Judge Huw Rees adjourned sentencing to allow a pre-sentence report to be prepared. He warned the defendant that every option remains available to the court, including an immediate custodial sentence.
MacCallum was granted bail but disqualified from driving in the interim. He is due to return to court for sentencing on April 2.
Addressing relatives present in the courtroom, Judge Rees said the court recognised the scale of their loss.
The families later paid tribute to the couple.
Katie’s loved ones described her as a devoted daughter, sister and friend who embraced life, loved travelling and had recently completed a Masters degree. They said she worked hard, cared deeply for others and “loved Adam beyond words”.
Adam’s family said he was a much-loved son and brother who adored Tenby, football and his partner. They said they were left heartbroken by the loss of his “big kind heart and cheeky smile”.
Both families said their lives would never be the same without them.
