Leon Arundel was pronounced dead at the University Hospital of Wales (UHW) in Cardiff on October 30, the day after he had been involved in the crash.

In a statement read to the court, Leon’s injuries were described as “catastrophic.” He died after suffering cardiac arrest, multi-organ failure and poly trauma.

The inquest was adjourned to a later date as the investigation being conducted by Dyfed-Powys Police remains ongoing.

Emergency services were called to reports of a collision near a farm in the Llangynog area between Carmarthen and St Clears on Wednesday, November 29. Leon was taken to Glangwili Hospital before being transferred to the UHW.
