A pedestrian involved in a crash with a car in Cardiff last Friday has died in hospital.
80-year-old Pamela Griffiths' family have called her a 'caring soul with a huge zest for life' after she passed away on Christmas Eve, two days after the incident at the junction of Albany Road and Angus Street on December 22nd.
The South Wales Police Serious Collision Investigation Unit continues its investigation into the collision which happened at 11.18am that morning - involving the 80-year-old and a silver Ford Ranger.
Pam was taken to the University Hospital of Wales, Cardiff, where she died on December 24.
Her family, who are being supported by specially trained officers, said: “Pam was an active, independent, outgoing 80-year-old, a caring soul with a huge zest for life. She was always out walking every day and a regular to Albany Road shops, the area where she lived most of her life. She loved nothing more than spending quality time with her daughter Amanda, son in-law Carl, three Grandchildren, Daniel, Chloe and Chelsea and three Great Grandchildren Cameron, Ruben and Mila.
“She enjoyed going out with her friends for lunch on a weekly basis and just shopping with them or us in general.
“She attended St Michael's Church every Sunday where she made many more friends and loved joining in with activities and helping with events.
“She had the kindest nature, always seeing the good in everything, making time for everyone and putting them first, ensuring that all around her in her company were happy, nothing was ever to much trouble, if she felt she could help anyone in any way she would.
“She has always been described as a beautiful friend with a heart of gold, she was loved by so many and was definitely one of life's treasures.
“A light has gone out in our lives and a hole left so big that can never be filled, we as a family are heartbroken beyond measure.”
South Wales Police say they would like to speak to anyone who witnessed the crash, stopped to help or anyone travelling in the area at the time who might have footage which could help them with their investigations.
