A man has been charged with causing death by dangerous driving following the death of a popular taxi driver in Pembrokeshire.

Christopher Boyle, 57, died after a crash on the A4139 between Tenby and Penally on Monday (September 2) evening.

Mateusz Sikorski, 30, has been charged with causing death by dangerous driving following the incident and attended Llanelli Magistrates Court today, where he was remanded in custody to appear at Swansea Crown Court on October 7.

The family of Mr Boyle paid tribute to "a much-loved son, dad, brother, uncle and friend" in a statement issued through Dyfed-Powys Police on Wednesday.

They added: "He was very involved in the community and would do anything to help anyone.”

Hundreds of friends, customers and colleagues have been adding their own tributes to, and memories of the RoadRunner Taxis driver, who was known as Mucker or Mukka.
