Heartfelt floral tributes have flooded a city pavement in memory of one of the young women killed in a car crash that claimed the lives of three people who'd been reported missing. Dozens of bouquets and cards of condolence have been left outside the Newport martial arts centre run by the father of Eve Smith.
The 21-year-old was one of five people who were travelling in car that was found crashed off the A48 near St Mellons in Cardiff just after midnight on Monday – nearly 48 hours after they were last seen in the Pentwyn area of the capital. Rafel Jeanne, 24, and Darcy Ross, 21, also died in the incident, while Sophie Russon and Shane Loughlin were left seriously injured. See the latest update from police here.
On Friday the Newport City Martial Arts Centre run by Everton Smith in Newport's Commercial Road had become a shrine to his daughter, who was from the city's Maesglas area. Its doors are closed 'until further notice' so the family can grieve and the unit's windows are filled with photos of Eve posing both with her dad and numerous friends.
