A dog walker has been killed after he was hit by a car in a suspected hit-and-run in West Wales . Police are searching for the driver of a blue car with noticeable damage after the crash in the Carmarthenshire village of Llanpumsaint on Monday evening. It happened near Caersalem Baptist Chapel sometime between 6.45pm and 7.45pm, Dyfed Powys Police said. The victim's family are being supported by specialist officers.
Investigations have established the car was travelling northbound through Llanpumsaint when it hit with the walker. 'Terribly sad news' Councillor Bryan Davies, who represents the local ward of Cynwyl Elfed on Carmarthenshire County Council, told Sky News it was 'terribly sad news'. He said 'all sympathies' are with the man's family and that words 'can't do justice' to how they feel. Cllr Davies said Llanpumsaint, which has a population of around 700 people, was 'a very close community'. 'This has been incredibly sad. Everyone this morning feels so sorry about the situation and for this young family,' he added. 'A wife and two young children who were looking forward to Christmas Day and the arrival of Father Christmas overnight.' Police are appealing for the driver, or anyone who has dashcam footage of the incident, to get in touch. The road is currently closed and the force says it is likely to stay closed for some time while they continue to investigate. Anyone with information is asked to report it to Dyfed-Powys Police using reference: DP-20241223-290
