Tribute to Merthyr man, 21, killed in fatal crash on A465

Robbie-Lee Selway was killed in a fatal crash on May 13 on the Heads of the Valleys road.

Mr Selway's family has paid tribute to him.

Remembering the 21-year-old from Merthyr Tydfil, they said: “We as a family are deeply broken by the tragic accident that left our family without a daddy, son, brother, uncle, partner and friend.

"We ask that everyone give us some privacy at this very sad time. We appreciate everyone’s support through this time.”

Four other people, two men aged 18 and 22 years old, a 25 year-old man from Cardiff and a 32 year-old woman from Tenby who were also injured in the collision remain in the University Hospital of Wales where they are being treated.

The collision involved a blue Ford Fiesta which was in collision with a white Renault Clio between the Hirwaun and Llwydcoed junctions of the A465.
