Tragic news from Pembrokeshire as we say goodbye to a remarkable mother, Jodie Amanda James. Jodie was cycling along the A40 near Llanddewi Velfrey when she was involved in a devastating crash with a van. Despite the heroic efforts of emergency services who rushed her to the University Hospital of Wales, she sadly passed away two days later.
An inquest revealed Jodie suffered “traumatic injuries,” with the cause of death linked to a “haemorrhage” from the accident. A 33-year-old man was arrested in connection with the incident and released on bail as the investigation continues.
Jodie’s family paid heartfelt tribute to a woman who touched so many lives, saying, “Jodie was a loving mother to Kaleb, daughter to Amanda and Stephen, and sister to Sammy and her brother-in-law Kristian. She was a loving sister to her brother Adam, and auntie to Karter, Lilith, and Atlas. Jodie was an inspiration, a very special person to us all.”
Coroner Gareth Lewis expressed his sincere condolences to the family during the opening of the inquest, which has been adjourned for a future date.
This tragic incident highlights the importance of road safety and reminds us to cherish every moment with our loved ones. Our thoughts are with Jodie’s family during this incredibly difficult time. 💔
