‘Kind’ dad dies after lorry and car crash

Tributes have been paid to a "kind" and "passionate" dad who died after a crash between a car and lorry. Jason Maber, from Talbot Green, was fatally injured in a collision at 9.55am on Thursday on the A473 between the Efail Isaf and Llantwit Fardre roundabouts. South Wales Police[1] is investigating the crash which involved a Vauxhall car and a lorry.

Jason's family have shared a tribute to the 50-year-old through the police force. They said: "Jason was so loved by all the family. He was a loving son, brother, uncle, nephew, grandson, father, and partner.

"We are all still in shock and haven't even begun to come to terms with his loss. We already know he will leave a massive void in so many lives that can simply never be filled. Jason loved his music, especially punk and alternative bands, and classed himself as an environmentalist.

"He was passionate about recycling, saving the planet, and animal rights. He was such a kind person who cared full-time for his partner but also gave so much to the local community. We are so grateful to all the emergency services who tried to help him at the scene and anyone else who stopped to assist.

It brings us comfort knowing that he wasn't alone."

Police are appealing for witnesses to the collision or anyone with dashcam footage who may have seen the crash or events leading up to it to call 101 quoting reference 2400256081.
