Pictured: Driver who ‘killed six-month old girl in car park by crashing into her pram in front of her horrified parents’

A man accused of causing the death of a six-month-old baby in a multi-storey car park while under the influence of drink and drugs has been photographed for the first time.

Relatives of little Sophia Kelemen have told how ‘a seemingly ordinary day turned into our family’s worst nightmare’.

Now Flaviu Naghi, 33, has been remanded in custody, charged with a string of offenses including causing death by dangerous driving after last Thursday’s tragedy in Tenby, Pembrokeshire.

He was also charged with driving without a license and without insurance.

Relatives have launched a call for Sophia’s body to be returned to her family’s native Romania.

Six-month-old Sophia Kelemen is held by her mother. The baby was taken to hospital with a broken pelvis and a brain haemorrhage and was eventually diagnosed with brain damage from the impact.

‘The baby was taken to hospital with a broken pelvis and a brain haemorrhage and was eventually diagnosed with brain damage from the impact.

‘Despite the best efforts of the doctors, Sophia could not handle the blow. The operation, the anesthesia, the brain hemorrhage and all the injuries were too much for her fragile heart, which eventually collapsed.

‘I hope to alleviate a very small part of the pain and suffering of my brother and sister-in-law and raise some of the necessary funds required for funeral costs and repatriation, as this was an event that no one could ever have expected or plans, especially not right after the Christmas holidays.’

Both Naghi and Sophia’s family are from Leigh, near Wigan, Greater Manchester.

Naghi’s wife shared details of the fundraiser on social media.

Relatives are trying to raise almost £7,000.

At the time of the tragedy in the seaside resort, witnesses said they heard shouting and commotion in the car park, which is next to a Sainsbury’s store.

One told the Pembrokeshire Herald: ‘I was in Tenby and saw the helicopter hovering, then heard loads of sirens and didn’t know what was going on, and as I drove past the multi-storey in Park Road I saw loads of blue lights and people gathered.

‘It happened right near the motorcycle part of the car park, so right at the front of Sainsbury’s.

She was taken to hospital with serious injuries, but died the next day.

A spokeswoman for Dyfed Powys Police said: ‘Sadly we can confirm that a six-month-old girl was killed following a collision on the ground floor of the car park in Tenby on January 2.

‘Sophia Kelemen, from near Leigh, Manchester, was taken to hospital but died from her injuries on January 3. Our thoughts remain with her family at this difficult time. They are supported by specially trained agents.
