A man who died following a crash on the M4 has been named as 44-year-old Matthew Paul Sweeney.

Mr Sweeney, from Danescourt, Cardiff, was killed after a van collided with the central reservation near Bridgend on Monday 17 April.

His partner, Alex James, said the family were "deeply shocked" by the "sudden death".

"He was a loving partner, proud father and son. Forever missed by everyone who knew him," a tribute said.

"As a family we would like to thank anybody at the scene who stopped to offer assistance. A special mention must go to all the emergency services who attended and tried their best to help him.

"What we need now as a family is time and space to try and process the magnitude of what has happened and respectfully request that we be allowed the opportunity to do so."
