A man is set to appear in court next month in connection with the death of a "gifted" dressage rider in a crash. Alice Smith, 31, died after the bicycle she was riding was involved in a collision with a red Seat Ibiza on March 9, 2024.
Charges and court appearance
The crash happened on the B4306 near Hendy. In a statement issued on Thursday, Dyfed-Powys Police said Connor Clive Rees, 22 of Bancffosfelen, Llanelli, will face a charge of causing death by dangerous driving when he appears at Llanelli Magistrates’ Court on September 3.
Family tribute
In a tribute issued after her death, Alice's grieving family said: “Alice was training for a triathlon in Barcelona later this year and was on her way to Llangyndeyrn when she died.
“Alice was happiest amongst her close friends, work colleagues and her horse-riding circle. She always had a smile and a kind word for everyone she met.
“As well as her triathlon and Iron Man training, Alice was becoming a gifted dressage rider and was about to compete at the Petplan finals at Addington Manor with her beloved horse Tess.
“The loss of Alice has left a massive hole in our lives and all that knew her.”
