The families of two men who died in a crash on the A48 have paid tribute to them.
Three men died in the collision involving a blue Ford Puma car and a Scania tipper lorry near Bonvilston in the Vale of Glamorgan on Tuesday.
Two of these have been named as Lawrence Howells, 51, from Porthcawl, Bridgend county, and Barrie John, 48, from Ferndale, Rhondda Cynon Taf.
The family of Mr Howells said they are “devastated”, while Mr John’s family said losing him has “left a hole” in their hearts.
South Wales Police officers are continuing to investigate the collision and have appealed for information.
The family of Mr John said while he “pushed their patience with his mischievous acts”, he always had a way of making them laugh when they needed it most.
“His grin, the way he’d sneak around causing chaos and then act like nothing happened, made life with him unpredictable but never dull,” they said.
“I keep expecting to hear his voice, to see his face, but all that remains are memories.
“The house feels emptier without him, even though I know his spirit lingers in every corner, reminding me of the times he made us laugh or shake our heads in disbelief.”
His sister Donna said she could not “put in words just how broken I’m feeling right now knowing that I’m never going to see you or hear your voice again with our goofy ways”.
Mr Howells’ family said their thoughts also go out to other families affected by the crash.
“Sleep tight Law boy,” they said.
