A 17-year-old girl who died in a collision involving three cars in Wales was “funny, kind and caring”, her brother said.

Demi Edmunds was the sole pedestrian in the incident on the A4042 in Cwmbran, Torfaen, Wales, which occurred at about 12.25pm on Thursday afternoon, Gwent police said.

The teenager from Caldicot was pronounced dead at the scene.

Her brother Jake said in a tribute published by the force on Saturday: “Demi was the best sister I could’ve ever asked for. She was funny, kind and caring.

“Me and her were very close, she was like a best friend to me that I could trust with anything and everything, but she’s no longer with us any more. Hopefully she’s in heaven, somewhere better.”

Police said the family has requested privacy to grieve.

In a shared statement, the family said: “Demi was a beloved daughter, granddaughter, sister, cousin and niece. Demi loved her friends, and she was loved by all.”

Inquiries are ongoing and police have asked anyone with information including CCTV or dashcam footage to get in contact quoting log reference 2600 046 163.

The Welsh ambulance service also attended the incident.
