A YOUNG mum died following a road collision in Dinas Powys on Sunday morning (October 16).
25-year-old Tara Mackie's family paid tribute to her, saying 'nothing would ever be the same' after her tragic death.
A black Ford Fiesta collided with Miss Mackie, who was walking along Cardiff Road from Dinas Powys towards Barry just before 9.20am. She was airlifted to Cardiff's University Hospital of Wales, but later pronounced dead.
Her family, from Barry, said: "It’s so hard to put into words what Tara meant to us all.
"She lived life to the full and she doted on her son, who was her world.
"Tara was a wonderful mother, daughter and sister, and everyone’s best friend.
"We don’t know what we’ll do without her; nothing will ever be the same. She will be dearly missed by everyone who knew her."
Floral tributes from family and friends were laid at the scene on Tuesday, after police temporarily closed Cardiff Road to allow them to pay their respects.
One tribute said: "To Tara, beautiful inside and out, who will be missed by so many."
Another said: "Your loss has shaken so many people. Even though you are with the angels, they could have waited a lot longer to be with you. Sweet dreams."
Police arrested the 24-year-old male Fiesta driver, who was travelling in the same direction as Tara towards Barry, at the scene, and have bailed him pending further enquiries.
Officers are appealing for any witnesses who may have seen the collision or who were travelling along that section of road in either direction at around 9.20am.
They are keen to trace the occupants of a silver car, possibly an estate, who was travelling from Barry towards Dinas Powys.
They also believe a vehicle travelling in the direction of Dinas Powys overtook a pedal cyclist near the collision, and that the driver may be able to assist officers with their enquiries.
Sgt Neil Williams said: “I want to stress that this person is being treated as a witness and not a suspect.
“We’re urging the driver of this vehicle to contact police. We believe they may have seen the collision and may hold vital information about the circumstances."
