The father of six-month-old baby Sophia Kelemen who tragically passed away following a collision at Tenby’s multi-storey car park, has spoken of his family’s devastation at the loss of their baby girl - saying that “she's always going to live in my heart.”<br />Dyfed-Powys Police confirmed that six-month old baby Sophia sadly passed away, following the collision on the ground floor at the car park which occurred on the afternoon of Thursday, January 2, at around 4pm.<br />Emergency services and the Wales Air Ambulance were on the scene for some time following the incident, with the car park and Upper Park Road closed to the public for a period of time, whilst police carried out investigations into the collision, which involved a grey Nissan Qashqai.<br />The driver of the vehicle involved in the RTC, thirty-three-year-old Flaviu Naghi, from Wigan, has been charged with causing death by dangerous driving, driving without a license and without insurance. <br />He was charged and remanded to appear before Swansea Magistrates’ Court on Saturday, January 4, where he was further remanded to appear before Swansea Crown Court on February 7. <br />The police spokesperson continued: “He was also arrested on suspicion of drink driving and drug driving and has been released on bail for these offences.<br />“This is a tragic incident and is a live investigation. We ask that you do not speculate the circumstances.”<br />Since the incident, the parents of baby Sophia who were on holiday in Tenby at the time over the festive period, have thanked all those that have expressed heartfelt condolences.<br />Twenty-seven-year-old Alex Kelemen, and his twenty-six-year-old wife Betty, who live in Leigh, Manchester, were staying in the seaside town with their children, five-year-old Lucas and baby Sophia, and were about to head home, before the fatal incident occurred.<br />“Just before we got to the car, the horror movie started,” Mr Kelemen told BBC Wales.<br />"It's hard to know and to think about what happened."<br />Sophia was taken to hospital and underwent surgery as a result of her injuries, but the "little star" died the next day.<br />“It's been horrific to see our little daughter being in that bed and go through all those procedures,” continued Mr Kelemen.<br />"Everybody loved her, all of our friends, our family.”<br />He said that he and his wife are now navigating their grief and trying to help their son understand that he will never see Sophia again.<br />“He's been asking about his little sister every day since it happened,” said Mr Kelemen.<br />“The biggest pain I've had was explaining to him that God loved his sister more than we did and God gave Sophia a brand new set of wings so that she could fly over him and protect him.<br />“There are things I don't know how to explain him. He's our only son now and he's the most important for us.”<br />Originally from Romania, the family hope to lay their daughter to rest in their homeland as soon as her body is released.<br />An inquest into Sophia's death is expected to open today (Tuesday, January 14).
