She could hear six-year-old Seren, who’d seen the tragedy unfold, crying in the background. Instead, on that Tuesday, enjoying a day out in Tenby with Martin, she had a call from Guto saying Ianto was dead. "He said to me: ‘I miss you, I love you, I’ll be home soon’ and I said: ‘I’ll see you on Friday’." But she never did. “He was crying because he wanted to speak to Mummy," she said. The last words she had said to her son were over a FaceTime chat two days before his death while he stayed with his dad for the week. Police and the Health and Safety Executive are still investigating what happened in the incident that saw Ianto lose his life but Chloe knows enough to say her son, who was playing on his bike, was killed almost instantaneously in the collision.

Chloe and Guto were teenagers when they met and split up after 10 years as a couple. Ianto and Seren, whom she had with Guto when they were together, lived with Chloe and spent two days a week with their dad on his family farm where he lived with his parents.

Chloe’s partner, Martin, is out at work as a labourer. Seren has been suffering with anxiety ever since she watched her brother killed instantaneously when he was hit by the pick-up. But then Seren woke me up and that chance just faded away.”Ĭhloe, a 27-year-old mum to Seren, six, and Daisy-Mae, 19 months, is home alone with her youngest while Seren is at school. That night I dreamt that I was with him and he wanted a cuddle with me – it was like my one last chance to have my wish. “I’d asked my friends: 'Why can’t I just have one more chance to see him and hug him?'. The weekend just gone she’d had a “lovely” dream, Chloe said.
