THE FAMILY of a grandfather who died following a collision in Cardiff’s Cathedral Road say he will be deeply missed.

Eddie Gerrard was declared deceased at the scene of the incident, which occurred at about 5.45pm on Thursday, July 25.

A grey Jaguar XKR vehicle, which was being driven by the 74-year-old and had been travelling along Cathedral Road, is believed to have collided with a number of other vehicles.

His family said: “Eddie was a loving husband to wife Anna, doting father to Sean and wife Sarah, and will be sadly missed by three beautiful grandchildren – Sophie, Emma and Shannon, who knew him as Teddy.

“He will be deeply missed by wider family, friends and colleagues who knew him. Rest in peace.”

Officers would like to speak to anyone who witnessed the collision, who stopped to provide assistance, or who may have seen the Jaguar being driven prior to the collision.
