Girl left in car wreck with deceased friends for 48 hours leaves hospital for first time

One of the survivors of a horror crash which killed three has now left hospital for the first time this week to attend the funeral of a lifelong friend who died in the accident.

Sophie Russon, 20, suffered catastrophic injuries after the car she was in crashed on the A48 (K) near the St Mellons area of Cardiff. Rafael Jeanne, 24, Eve Smith, 21, and Darcy Ross, 21 all died in the collision, whilst Shane Loughlin, 32, and Sophie were both left badly injured.

Sophie has been in hospital recovering from the horrific injuries she suffered in the crash seven weeks ago but left hospital for the first time to attend Darcy’s funeral last week.
