Police are appealing for witnesses after a man died when his car crashed into a tree and caught fire around lunchtime on Saturday.
The driver of the car, a 31-year-old man from North Yorkshire, died at the scene and the passenger sustained serious injuries following the crash just south of Llanwrtyd Wells.
The blue Vauxhall VX220, which is thought to have been traveling as part of a convoy, was the only vehicle involved in the collision on the A483, between Llandovery Road and Sugar Loaf train station, at around 12.50pm.
