A third person has died following a fatal road collision in Barry last month.

Ralph James (67) from Penarth was taken to hospital after the two vehicle collision on the A4050 Port Road on Saturday 2nd November.

His aunt and cousin were also killed. They were Madeline Brooks (85) from Barry and Beverley Puglsey (69) from Llandaff, who were both pronounced dead at the scene.

A second man was also taken to hospital following the collision involving an Audi vehicle and a Nissan car, which closed the road for nearly ten hours.

Paying tribute, Mr James' family said: "He was loved by all his family and the wider community who knew him. He always had time for people and was well known."

"He lived his entire life in the Penarth area and worked at the Cardiff Docks from the age of 18."

“He loved spending time on holiday in the Devon and Cornwall area and spending time with his family."

“Words cannot express the loss we are presently feeling as a family, to lose so many members at one time is heartbreaking. Ralph will forever live on in our hearts and never be forgotten."

Last month, an inquest into the deaths of Mrs Brooks and Mrs Pugsley heard the pair had suffered fatal neck and chest injuries in the collision, which is still subject to a criminal investigation.

South Wales Police are still appealing for anyone with information or dashcam footage to call 101 or use the live web chat, quoting reference no. 2400365249.

Alternatively, contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
