A jury has been sworn in for the trial of a driver accused of causing the death of a six-month-old baby at Tenby’s multi-storey last January.

The incident saw baby Sophia Kelemen sadly pass away a day after being hit by a car on the evening of Thursday, January 2, 2025, at the Pembrokeshire County Council run car park located on Upper Park Road.

She was on holiday at the time in the seaside town with her family from Manchester.

Thirty-four-year-old Flaviu Naghi from Leigh in Greater Manchester [now of Rondini Avenue, Luton, Bedfordshire] was arrested and subsequently charged with causing death by dangerous driving; and another charge of causing death by careless driving, while under the influence of a controlled drug - namely the cocaine metabolite benzoylecgonine - both of which he denies.

The collision involved a grey Nissan Qashqai.
