The police investigation into a crash that killed three young people and left two others seriously ill continues as officers piece together what happened on the tragic night. The five young people disappeared after meeting on a night out in Newport.
The car they had been travelling in was found crashed near the St Mellons area of Cardiff nearly 48 hours after they were last seen in the Pentwyn area of the city. Eve Smith, 21, Rafel Jeanne, 24, and Darcy Ross, 21, died and Sophie Russon and Shane Loughlin were seriously injured in the crash.
Over the weekend their families and friends had issued a number of appeals after getting increasingly concerned as time went by without them having had any contact from any of those missing. One family member said that it was "unusual" for them not to have been in touch. Police confirmed their worst fears in the early hours of Monday morning when they confirmed the car they had been travelling in had been found crashed off the A48 near St Mellons.
