Families pay tribute after two men killed in A40 crash
The single‑vehicle crash happened in the early hours of Sunday morning, 14 September, between Haverfordwest and Treffgarne. Emergency services were called at around 3.10am, but both occupants of a silver Volkswagen Polo were pronounced dead at the scene. The road was closed in both directions between Spittal and Haverfordwest for more than 12 hours while crash investigators worked, reopening at around 4.45pm on Sunday.
One of those who died was 18‑year‑old Aled Bowen. In a statement, his family said:
“It is with profound sorrow that we share the passing of our beloved, Aled. He was a cherished son, a devoted brother and uncle and a source of love and strength to everyone fortunate enough to know him.
Aled left us on 14.09.25, and while our hearts are broken, we hold tightly to the memories of his laughter and the countless ways he enriched our lives. His kindness and spirit will live with us forever.
In this time of grief, we ask for privacy and understanding as our family navigates this immense loss. We are deeply grateful for the compassion and prayers we have already received from everyone.
Arrangements to honour Aled’s life will be shared in the coming days. For now, we take comfort in remembering him not only as a son and a brother but as someone whose presence made the world brighter.”
The second victim has been named as 23‑year‑old Aled Coleman, from Scleddau. His family said:
“Aled was caring, kind, fun loving and will be massively missed by all his family.”
Dyfed‑Powys Police confirmed that both men’s next of kin are being supported by specialist officers. The Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service said a crew from Haverfordwest Fire Station was called to the scene at 3.17am.
The incident was described by police as “very serious”, with the A40 shut between Day’s Roundabout in Haverfordwest and Wolfscastle for much of the day. Drivers were advised to avoid the area and use alternative routes until the road was reopened late on Sunday afternoon.
