Tributes have been paid to a man who was killed in a road traffic collision on the A40 in Monmouthshire.
Emergency services were called to a road traffic collision on the A40, between Abergavenny and Raglan, at around 2pm on Monday.
The collision occurred on the eastbound carriageway and involved one car – a silver Mercedes E220 estate.
Officers attended, along with paramedics from the Welsh Ambulance Service who confirmed that the driver, 49-year-old Matthew Rawlings from Box, Wiltshire, had died at the scene.
His next of kin have been informed and are receiving support from specialist officers.
His family has also issued the following tribute to him: “Mat was a loving husband and doting father to two beautiful children.
“He was truly loved and will be sorely missed.
“We’re thankful for the messages of support at this time, but we would ask to be left alone to allow the family to grieve in private."
Gwent Police are continuing to appeal for witnesses and anyone with information about the collision is asked to come forward.
