We are appealing for witnesses or anyone with dashcam footage that can help our investigation into a serious collision on the A40 near Llandeilo, at around 12.20pm on Thursday, July 8.

Two vehicles, a green Daf flatbed lorry and a white Ford Transit Tipper, were involved in a head-on collision near the Cottage Inn.

Tragically both drivers, men aged 62 and 40, were killed. Their next of kin are aware and are being supported by specialist officers.

A young girl, who was a passenger in the lorry, was airlifted to hospital as a precaution and was found to have suffered only a minor injury.

The road was closed for several hours and reopened at around 10pm.

Anyone with information that could help officers with their investigation, including any dashcam footage of either vehicles ahead of or during the collision, is asked to report it to Dyfed-Powys Police, either online at: https://bit.ly/DPPContactOnline, by emailing 101@dyfed-powys.pnn.police.uk, or by calling 101.

If you are deaf, hard of hearing, or speech impaired text the non-emergency number on 07811 311 908. Quote reference: DP-20210708-144.

Alternatively, contact the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously by calling 0800 555111, or visiting crimestoppers-uk.org.
