POLICE are trying to trace the family of a woman who died after a crash more than two weeks ago.

It is believed the 58-yearold pedestrian was hit by a car while walking along a road at around 6pm on January 29, police said.

Dyfed-Powys Police is now trying to trace her next of kin after the crash in Carmarthen­shire.

Police said it is believed the woman, who went by names including Pasqual Lorentz and Gwendy Elizabeth Tolley, was hit by a car while walking along the B4302 road between Llandeilo and Talley. Police say she appears to have links in the Birmingham and London areas.

Investigat­ing officer PC Sara John said: “We have made extensive inquiries in an attempt to trace any relatives of the lady who has sadly died as a result of a road traffic collision.

“We know that she went by several different names and had links to the Birmingham and London areas, however, we have now exhausted all other lines of inquiry and appealing for informatio­n via the media and social media is our final attempt to find her next of kin.

“This is a really saddening situation and while it is unpleasant news we have to deliver to any next of kin, it is our duty as police to make every attempt to find someone to let them know what has happened.

“She was well known in the local area, but lived alone and did not have any relatives living locally. I urge anyone who recognises these names or the lady in the photograph­s to please get in touch with Dyfed-Powys Police urgently.”

Anyone who knows the woman and can help police identify her next of kin is asked to call 101 and ask for Dyfed-Powys Police, quoting reference number DP-20180129-279.
