Tenby crash: Six-month-old died after car hit pram

A six-month-old girl died after a car hit her pram in a multi-storey car park, an inquest opening has heard.

Sophia Kelemen, from Leigh, Greater Manchester, was airlifted to hospital after the crash in Tenby, Pembrokeshire, on 2 January but died the next day.

The incident happened on the ground floor of the car park in the seaside town on the last day of a family holiday.

Dyfed-Powys Police is continuing to investigate the incident and assistant coroner Gareth Lewis adjourned the inquest to a later date.

Sophia’s cause of death was noted as intracranial haemorrhage and road traffic collision.

Coroner’s Officer for Pembrokeshire, PC Carrie Sheridan said the ambulance service was called at 16:04 GMT about a collision between a car and a child’s pram.

Flaviu Naghi, 33, from Wigan, is due to appear at Swansea Crown Court on 7 February charged with causing death by dangerous driving and driving without a licence and without insurance.

Police said Mr Naghi was also arrested on suspicion of drink-driving and drug-driving and was remanded in custody until his next court hearing.

Sophia’s father Alex Keleman, 27, has said his family had been left “devastated” by her death and described his experience as being like “a horror movie”.

The family had taken some final holiday photographs and had packed their bags and were preparing to head home when the incident happened.

Now, he and his wife Betty, 26, are navigating their grief and trying to help their five-year-old son, Lucas, understand that he will never see Sophia again.
