Mum was unable to say goodbye to son killed while changing tyre

A mother described how she was unable to say goodbye to her son who was killed by a dangerous driver while changing a punctured tyre. The collision occurred when the driver collided head -on with another car while trying to overtake the stationary vehicle.

Mark Rowley, 31, was killed by Shane White, 54, in a crash on the B4269 near Abergavenny on March 10, 2021. Mr Rowley was leaning into his Ford Transit van through the driver's-side door when he was hit by White's Fiat Punto, which collided with a grey Jaguar driven by Ian Curtis.

At the moment of impact White was was travelling at 47mph and tried to "squeeze through" past the victim's stationary van but did not see Mr Curtis until the last moment. Mr Curtis tried to pull to the left but was struck by White's Punto which also collided with Mr Rowley, who died a week later in hospital on March 17.
