Cardiff car crash: Senedd Member calls on Welsh Government to step in

Welsh Government Senedd Eve Smith Police Cardiff Rafel Jeanne Darcy Ross Sophie Russon Car crash Shane Loughlin

A Plaid Cymru MS has said the Welsh Government cannot ignore the public distress about the death of three people in a car crash in Cardiff, who were not found for two days, despite their families reporting five people missing.

Peredur Owen Griffiths MS told the Senedd that there had been "a great deal of public distress" following the crash, and added: "It would be wrong to pre-empt any findings of such an investigation, but you cannot ignore the public disquiet from the families and the friends of the crash victims."

Policing and justice are not devolved to Wales but Mr Griffiths said the Welsh Government needed to consider what involvement it could have, following the crash in which Eve Smith, 21, Rafel Jeanne, 24, and Darcy Ross, 21, died and Sophie Russon and Shane Loughlin were seriously injured.
