The family of 44-year-old man who sadly passed away following a collision on the A40 in Carmarthenshire on Tuesday, July 28, have paid tribute to him.

They said that Gerard Trojanowski was a “loving husband and father” and a ”wonderful and generous person with a good heart.”

“He will always be in our memories. As a family we ask for privacy during this difficult time,” the family statement added.

Dyfed-Powys Police is investigating a six-vehicle road traffic collision, which occurred on the A40 between the PC World roundabout and Abergwili roundabout at approximately 9.50pm on July 28.

The force initially received a report regarding the concern for the safety of a pedestrian who was seen to be on the carriageway.

Following officers being deployed, further reports then indicated that several vehicles had collided with the pedestrian prior to officers’ arrival.

A marked police vehicle, whilst on routine patrol on the A40 at the time, was also reported to have collided with the pedestrian before the police response arrived.

A spokesperson for Dyfed-Powys Police stated at the time: “Tragically the pedestrian was pronounced dead at the scene. Enquiries to identify them and their next of kin are now underway.

“No arrests have been made in connection with this incident.

“A mandatory referral to the Independent Office of Police Conduct (IOPC) has been made, which is a statutory requirement in relation to such incidents to ensure independent oversight. It would be inappropriate for us to comment further until the IOPC has completed their assessment,” they added.

Investigating officers would like to speak to anyone with information regarding this incident, as well as motorists who were travelling along the A40 at the time, in particular anyone with dash cam in their vehicles.
