Eve Smith's dad shares heartbreaking tribute to his 'queen'

Eve Smith's heartbroken dad has shared a tribute to his 21-year-old daughter who was tragically killed in a car crash in Cardiff on the weekend. Eve died alongside childhood friend Darcy Ross, 21, and Rafel Jeanne, 24, after the car they were travelling in left the A48 in St Mellons.

Sophie Russon, 20, and Shane Loughin, 32, are in a critical condition in hospital after they were discovered in the car in the early hours of Monday morning. They were last seen in the early hours of Saturday morning and several missing persons reports were made to police on Saturday through to Sunday.

Eve's father, Everton Smith, shared a heart-breaking tribute to his daughter, adding that it has taken a "couple of days" to believe what has happened. Sharing photos of his daughter to Facebook, Everton said: "It’s taken a couple of days and I just can’t believe what has happened, the pain and numbness constantly reminding me that I will never see my beautiful daughter Eve again. I would give anything to hear her sing a song again, fly high my queen, I loved you more than words can say and will cherish the 21 years I had with you bossing my life! My family & I would appreciate time to grieve and morn."
