A 22 year old has died after a crash on Friday afternoon in Pembrokeshire.

Thomas Canton from Nolton Haven was killed after a single vehicle collision involving his black VW Golf on the A487 between Solva and Newgale at around 4.20pm.

His family has described him as "a loving son, brother and grandson who was a kind, thoughtful, polite, extremely intelligent and strong-willed young man that ensured he would take time out to ask how your day was.

“He was an outgoing, adventurous boy who loved his skateboarding and had a real zest for life,” they said.

“He always had an answer for everything and was very quick witted, as well as hard working.

“Tom will be deeply missed by us as a family, the community and by his friends.”

The road was closed for a number of hours and reopened at around 11.20pm.

Dyfed Powys Police is appealing for anyone who witnessed the crash or has dashcam footage to get in touch.
