A passenger, who had been dropped off home before a crash in Cardiff which killed three of his friends, joined the search and spent 13 hours looking for their missing car. Joel Lia had been dropped off in the white Volkswagen Tiguan before it veered off the road in the early hours of March 4 on the outskirts of the city.
The Mirror reports that the vehicle lay hidden from view just off the A48 in St Mellons and was found almost 48 hours later, as friends and family joined police in a desperate search. Joel, 27, was revealed to be the other passenger last week and a friend said he had spent half a day searching the area after discovering what had happened.
His mum also confirmed that he had been working with police to try to piece together what had happened. His close friend Rafel Jeanne, 24, was killed in the crash, along with childhood friends Eve Smith and Darcy Ross, both 21.
