A six-month-old baby died after her pram was hit by a vehicle in a car park, a coroner has been told.
Sophia Kelemen, from the Leigh area of Manchester, was struck on the ground floor of a multi-storey car park in Tenby, Pembrokeshire.
It happened shortly after 4pm on 2 January and Sophia died in hospital the following day.
An inquest into her death was opened on Tuesday at Pembrokeshire Coroner’s Court.
PC Carrie Sheridan, the coroner’s officer for Pembrokeshire, said police received reports from the ambulance service that a crash had occurred “involving a single motor vehicle and a child’s pram”.
Sophia was airlifted to the University Hospital of Wales in Cardiff, where she later died, Ms Sheridan added.

The cause of death was recorded as “intracranial haemorrhage” caused by a road traffic collision.
Gareth Lewis, the assistant coroner for Pembrokeshire, adjourned the inquest to allow for further investigations.
He extended his “sincere condolences to the family of Sophia and to all of those… affected by these tragic circumstances”.
More than £4,000 has so far been raised to help support Sophia’s family with funeral costs.
