Audi driver hit cars letting ambulance through on A4076
The court heard that an ambulance was responding to an emergency call and was driving from Milford Haven towards Johnston.
A Peugeot travelling in the same direction pulled to the side of the road to allow the ambulance to pass, whilst two vehicles coming in the opposite direction did the same – just after going over the brow of a hill.

As the vehicles manoeuvred to make enough space for the ambulance to pass, Bevans' Audi A3 came over the brow of the hill in the opposite direction to the ambulance and was unable to stop in time – crashing into the back of the second car in the queue.

The court heard that the driver of the Peugeot sustained soft tissue and muscle injuries, whilst the driver of the other car suffered whiplash injuries.
Bevans was also injured in the crash.
He pleaded guilty to careless driving, and had eight points added to his licence at Llanelli Magistrates' Court on April 23.

Heartbreak over missing Kyle Vaughan on 37th birthday
Kyle Vaughan went missing in the night of December 30, 2012, and has not been seen since, leaving his family in a state of grief and uncertainty that has lasted for nearly 13 years. Kyle, who was 24 at the time of his disappearance, was last seen by his parents earlier that day when he left to attend a party in Abercarn and later visited friends at a pub in Risca. After spending time with his friends at the pub, he left to return to the party. He never arrived, and his silver Peugeot was later found crashed on the A467 between Risca and Crosskeys at 11.47pm. Kyle's parents Mary and Alan (pictured on a walk to highlight Kyle's disappearance) dedicated their lives to finding out what happened to their son (Image: Chris Tinsley) His father, Alan Vaughan, who has continued to fight for answers despite his own declining health, said what he wants most is to bring his son home. He said: "I just want Kyle's body so I can put him to rest with Mary. "Somebody knows what happened and knows where his body is." The family's ordeal began when police officers visited the home of Kyle's parents, Mary Lucas and Mr Vaughan, after checking the crashed car. Mr Vaughan was initially told he was being arrested for leaving the scene of a collision, before it became clear that the vehicle belonged to his son. Kyle was reportedly last seen by two undertakers who said he refused a lift (Image: Gwent Police) Concern quickly grew due to Kyle's need for regular insulin injections. A missing person's appeal was launched, but after 11 days, the investigation was upgraded to a murder inquiry. A total of eight people were arrested—four on suspicion of murder, and the others on suspicion of perverting the course of justice or assisting an offender. All eight were released on bail, and no charges have ever been brought against any of the eight or anyone else in connection with the case. Kyle's parents said at the time: "Our lives have been on hold since December 30, and every day since then we have lived in hope that he will walk through the door. "It's been a painstaking time for us while we wait on news that our boy is safe. "For Kyle to go missing is totally out of character. Kyle's family and friends have never given up the hope of getting justice "He would always be in contact with his mother every day and now we are heartbroken." Two undertakers later reported seeing and speaking with Kyle after the crash, but said he declined their offer of a lift. Hundreds of people joined in the search for Kyle, and for more than a decade, his family have clung to the hope of finding out what happened to him. In October 2016, nearly four years after he vanished, Kyle was declared legally dead despite no body being found. His employer, Unilever, which had said his job would be waiting for him if he returned, made a payout to the family in March 2017. His mother, Mary, died in 2018 after a battle with cancer. Kyle was legally declared dead in October 2016, despite there being no body Mr Vaughan believes she also 'died of a broken heart' caused by never knowing her son's fate. "I miss Mary and Kyle like no tomorrow," he said. "Kyle would have turned 27 today (August 3)." He reflects on everything his son has missed: most of Kyle's friends are now married with children and homes of their own. He said: "I and Mary won't have grandkids. "Kyle would have had a good job and a house of his own, but he doesn't have that, yet the people who murdered our son are still walking around with good people." The pain is compounded by the lack of accountability. He said: "The people who murdered our son are still walking around your area. "Those families know that their sons killed our son and they say nothing." Gwent Police say the investigation remains 'very much active.' More than 40 areas have been searched, at least 200 people interviewed, nearly 900 witness statements taken, and more than 180 intelligence logs recorded. In September 2020, Crimewatch Roadshow featured a segment on Kyle's disappearance, including a reconstruction of the events that night and an emotional appeal from his father. Mr Vaughan said: "It was hard doing it and it was very emotional to watch when it aired. "I filmed it in August and spent seven hours working on it which was mentally and physically draining. "I must have had over 100 messages on Monday afternoon. Kyle's disappearance was a serious cause for concern as he was always in contact with his family and needed regular insulin "I had to turn my phone off at one point. "But everyone was so positive, saying how I had done well, and they hoped that we will get answers. "When I watched it back, I managed to hold it all together until I saw Mary's picture. "Then I broke." He highlighted how in the public response, there was frustration that Kyle had been painted as a drink driver. "I was really pleased with how it was put together, but a number of people contacted me upset about how Kyle was pictured as a drink driver where you can go to a pub and not have a drink. "I know that Kyle did not crash the car, I know he was run off the road." Despite the time that has passed, Mr Vaughan said the pain has not lessened. He said: "It doesn't get easier. "The only thing that keeps me going is that we will get Kyle's body and a court case one day. "When the time comes, it will be hard, but we will get justice. "It's a life sentence for me at the moment and the hardest part is the people who know are walking around like they own the place." He told the South Wales Argus that he spoke with police earlier this year and was informed they were investigating leads in April. He hopes that having fresh eyes on the case might make a difference. In September 2021, Crimestoppers doubled its reward for information on Kyle's disappearance to £10,000. Detective Chief Superintendent Andrew Tuck, senior investigating officer, said: "Our detectives continue to work on this case, following up any lines of enquiry that emerge. "His family have lived with unanswered questions for so long and we remain in regular contact with them as we continue our efforts to find out what happened to him. "I'm urging members of the public to contact us with any information they have, no matter how small it may seem, please come forward." The case remains unsolved despite repeated appeals and the reward on offer. Anyone with information is urged to contact Gwent Police online or by calling 101. Crimestoppers can also be contacted anonymously through its website or by calling 0800 555 111.
