3 young people found dead in car in Cardiff
2 are alive. Looks like a tragic accident. Happened on Saturday evening and the car only found early hours of this morning. Very sad.

Desperately sad for all involved.
Can't imagine what the 2 survivors have gone through for the last 48 hours.

Its strange to me that traffic cameras didn't pick up the car's movements, or, if they did, that it took so long to locate the car.

Why are Gwent Police investigating a crash in Cardiff ?
Had they been in Newport ?

It happened on the slip road where you come off the A48 to go to St Mellon's. Maybe where the car ended up is just over the boarder.

The car they were last seen in was found just after midnight on the A48 in St Mellons, a major road in the city.
Over the weekend, family and friends of the missing group appealed numerous times on social media to find them.
The women, from Newport, had travelled to Cardiff from Porthcawl, Bridgend county, with the two men, both from Cardiff.
Wonder if their was a chase starting in NP A48 area , St Mellon's closely borders NP

Some reports said the IOPC has been informed so there must have been some police involment before the crash. But not the police chasing the car or it wouldn't have taken so long to find it.
I drove past the scene this morning (for work) all the screens are off the road, on the left-hand side as you come up the slip road from the A48 towards St Mellon's. If there was a chase from Newport they must have been on the wrong side of the road or crashed across both carriageways and then gone across the verge.

I don't think there was a chase at all, as all the media until this morning has been about missing persons, who were apparently going from Newport to Porthcawl.
Id heard about the IOPC referral aswell but I think that's mandatory in certain situations.

No chase,just a terrible accident.My son in law is seeing his brother this morning.
Hope people stop making up different scenarios.

Re: 3 young people found dead in car in Cardiff
BBC reporting "Gwent Police has confirmed that South Wales Police is investigating the crash."
-
Re: 3 young people found dead in car in Cardiff
Judging by the location on the crash the drivers binned it on the slip road coming off Eastern Avenue, probably trying to slow down before the roundabout. Crazy that no one noticed considering how busy it is usually, then again it was a sunday.

Horrible, you can see who has died on Facebook.

Re: 3 young people found dead in car in Cardiff
Why was my post deleted?
One lad went home because he knew how ruined they all were, he didn't feel comfortable staying in the vehicle.
They were pissed up and seen on Snapchat doing those balloon canisters.
I can have any sympathy for people who drove recklessly. Isn't it good that drink driving caused no other casualties.
I know people who have been killed by drink driving and others who have had life changing injuries caused by it.
Whoever drove that car is an idiot. And how foolish to get in the vehicle with a drunk driver and part take in drinking and drugs themselves.
If you're going to delete my post for telling the truth just go another step and permanently ban my account because if you can't speak the truth on here it's absolutely ****ing worthless posting.
Drink driving is idiotic.
Drug driving is worse.
If people are upset by that, so be it.

its a criminal act and awful , if they had hit someone does anyone think they would have stopped is worth asking , looking at where the car ended up they had to be travelling and breakneck speed wonder if they had pissed someone off and were subject to a chase due to road rage did they come from the Newport end of A48 if so you can see how it could happen as the road bends right into the roundabout and if you went straight at speed you travelling quite a way into the wooded area unseen from the road , if they had braked surely tyre marks would have been seen by the police and car found

Do I know if they were on social media doing balloons? Plenty of people would have seen that.
I revert to my original post, it's awful and a tragedy. RIP.
I just can't have any sympathy for people who drive and take drugs. Driving under the influence is idiotic.

Re: 3 young people found dead in car in Cardiff
One of the victims lost a sister back in 2015 in a crash "caused by a male driver who was drunk while high on cocaine and cannabis". Now her parents are burying another child due to an avoidable accident.

Clearly on one and picked up a few young girls in Newport…..amazed they got to porthcawl and back to cardiff without any issues. To lose it on that roundabout they must have been doing some speed, no doubt a good bit of it is on camera. I sometimes walk over A48 bridge by the heath going home late on weekends and the speeds some are going is insane…..

I'm not looking to upset posters on here, or people reading that may know people etc.
But there's plenty of talk. Younger people I work with are all saying the same things,
They've been on Snapchat posting videos of themselves doing laughing gas..they were clearly under the influence.
People can get mad at me, but that's idiotoc. I know people who have suffered at the hands of drink driving, it's idiotic to drink drive and equally idiotic to get in the car with people under the influence.
See plenty of cars driving too fast on bends up the valleys, heart has been in my mouth plenty of times as they've taken a corner too fast and there are people walking on the pavement...you're just watching hoping the idiot driving stays on the road...

I’ve seen the exact same things mate, including someone who was very close to Rafel (stupidly) announce that they were all drunk at the time they dropped the third lad off.
No doubt it’ll all come out in the coming weeks

Why have you done that with the surname? Its not meant in a positive light from you, is it. Some youngster has died and you're insinuating, aren't you? You are a horrible twisted **** of a man.

Re: 3 young people found dead in car in Cardiff
I’m afraid that I’m siding with Dembe on this
It’s a terrible tragedy but one that could have been totally avoided
The irony of one of the girls killed losing her own sister eight years ago unfortunately shows that the youth of today “Normalise” the use of recreational drugs and alcohol
My daughter also mentioned that she’d seen Raf’s posts on Snapchat of them doing balloons
She’s the same age and are friends on Facebook and actually dated a while back.
The police investigation and the coroner toxicology reports will help piece together their movements on the night

They weren't recorded taking drugs.

I'm not happy that people have lost their lives, I just can't understand how people can be so stupid.
Same stories being told, they obviously saw other people while out and about so people are bound to talk. It's not speculation, people are saying what they know.
I know someone who hasn't left his house on years due to drink drivers. Idiots the ****ing lot of them.

Re: 3 young people found dead in car in Cardiff
1) I think the poster at the top mentioned the surname as an explanation of why the Police referred themselves to the IOPC.
2) to people saying "show some respect to the families" I'd ask when *can* people criticise reckless driving that costs lives? If this incident hadn't ended like it did people would be none the wiser and it'd just happen again next week, and the week after and so on. If you can't say a stupid person driving stupidly is stupid after it took the lives of 3 people when can you say it?
