Tributes have been paid to a cyclist who has been described as a warrior princess who put her "heart and soul into everything she did". Tragically, triathlete Lucy John, 35, was out on a bike ride when she was involved in a crash near Bridgend at the weekend.
People tried to help at the scene, but the 35-year-old died from her injuries after being involved in the collision at around 9.10am on Sunday, October 16, on the A48 near the roundabout at Laleston heading towards Stormy Down.
Lucy was a committed member of Pen-Y-Bont Triathlon Club, and was well-known in the local community. Members of the club said they have been left "heartbroken" by the news and have promised to support Lucy's husband Evan and their families.
