The trunk road going round the centre of Haverfordwest is becoming notorious for traffic incidents.

Only three weeks ago a motorcyclist tragically died on the same stretch of road after a four-vehicle crash.

Father of two Andrew Clark, 34, known locally as Clarky, died at the scene.

That crash took place at 5.30pm on Friday, August 26, with the road reopened at 1.15am on the Saturday morning.
