The owner of a parked car completely written off after a motorist smashed their vehicle into the side of it has spoken of an ongoing issue in the street which he fears will result in a fatality. Aled Roberts said he and his partner Simone Blair were settling down for the evening at around 11.20pm on Sunday, November 27, when they heard a loud bang come from outside their home in Sandy Road in Llanelli.
Mr Roberts said he instinctively feared the worst, and told Miss Blair: "That's our car." When he stepped outside, his fears were confirmed, as he discovered a silver Mazda vehicle had collided with their blue Lexus. Police arrived shortly after to deal with the matter.
The reason for the crash is unknown, and there is no suggestion speeding was a factor, but there are concerns about vehicles travelling at too high a speed on the 30mph Sandy Road. And that's not the only issue. Five years ago new traffic lights - which were a condition of the planning approval for a new housing estate and retail development in the area - were installed, but caused complaints over an increase in congestion and poor air quality. Residents have continued to call for what they see is the only solution - a bypass to take traffic away from their homes. Get stories like this straight to your inbox with our newsletters.
