Lynsey Popp tribute after Pant, Merthyr fatal car crash
The family of a 28-year-old mother-of-two who was killed in a car crash described her as someone who was "loved by everyone and always smiling".
Police have re-appealed for witnesses to the crash in which Lynsey Popp, from Dowlais, Merthyr Tydfil, died.
She was the passenger in a Honda Civic car which struck a tree in Pant village at about 01:30 GMT on Saturday.
The 36-year-old man driving the car remains in hospital with serious but not life-threatening injuries.
Ms Popp's family, including her eight-year-old daughter and six-year-old son, is being supported by a police family liaison officer.
In a statement issued via South Wales Police they said: "Lynsey was a much loved mum, daughter and sister. She was loved by everyone and always smiling.
"She had a bubbly and infectious personality and will be sorely missed by all who knew her, especially her eight-year-old daughter Libby and six-year-old son Thomas."
Police say they want to hear from anyone who saw the green N-registration car in the Merthyr area prior to the crash, which happened near to the cemetery in Pant.
They also want to speak to the people in a white hatchback vehicle which travelled from Galon Uchaf roundabout through the village, and also to a man seen walking through the village at that time.
Insp Carwyn Evans said: "It is vital that we trace anyone who was in this area, either on foot or in a vehicle, including everyone who drove between Pant and Pontsicill villages between 00:45 GMT and 01:45 GMT on Saturday morning.
"Our condolences are with Lynsey's family who are being supported by specially trained officers at this difficult time."
