The mother of a man killed in a head-on crash on the A477 in Carmarthenshire has spoken of her 'unfathomable' grief. Adam Muskett, 27, and his partner Katie Worrell, 25, died when their Ford Fiesta was struck by a Jaguar XKR that crossed onto their side of the road on 13 June 2024.
The driver of the Jaguar, Alexander MacCallum, now 28, was given a suspended prison sentence at Swansea Crown Court after pleading guilty to causing death by careless driving. Adam’s mother, Helen, told the court she misses her 'baby boy' every minute and described the pain as 'having my insides ripped out'.
She said Adam was passionate about football and his hometown of Tenby, and dreamed of owning a home and starting a family. The couple had been setting off for a holiday to mark Miss Worrell’s birthday when the crash occurred in heavy rain.
Witnesses reported seeing the Jaguar 'all over the place' before it veered into the oncoming lane and hit the Fiesta. Data from the Jaguar’s sensors showed its front airbag deployed at 60mph, though the prosecution said speed exceeded what was appropriate for the conditions.
MacCallum told bystanders he 'put his foot down' and 'lost it in the wet'. The court heard there had been four other collisions on the same stretch of road in similar conditions. Judge Paul Thomas KC said the tragedy could not be measured, adding that Katie and Adam were 'two lovely young people'.
