Tributes are being paid to an 18-year-old who died in a serious collision in Monmouthshire last weekend.

Dafydd Hughes from Abertysswg died following the road traffic collision in Shirenewton on Sunday.

His family has released the following tribute: “We as a family are truly heartbroken. 

“Dafydd had just turned eighteen, he had his whole life ahead of him. 

“He was a very kind and loving boy who worshipped his family.  He was a good friend to many people and had that little something about him.  If you only met him for a minute, he would touch a place in your heart. 

“Dafydd made the most of his life and was always smiling.  He loved fishing and going to dog shows.  He was a proper boy. 

“Dafydd was a loving son, grandson, brother, nephew and dear friend and will be greatly missed.”

Detectives are still appealing for information about the collision that happened on Usk Road, between a Peugeot 5008 and a Ford Focus, at about 1.30pm.

A man and a woman, in their fifties, who were taken to hospital have been released.

A 29-year-old man remains in hospital receiving treatment.
