Avon and Somerset Police have named the fourth victim of Monday’s lorry crash in Weston as 59-year-old Robert Parker from Cwmbran, following formal identification yesterday.

Formal identification procedures have now taken place on all three of the men who died in the collision in Bath on Monday afternoon.

The men were identified as Robert Parker, aged 59, from Cwmbran, Phillip Allen, aged 52, from Swansea and Stephen Vaughan, aged 34, from Swansea.

Local residents have been paying tribute to the four people, including four-year-old Mitzi Rosanna Steady, who were killed when a tipper truck lost control.

The family of the Mitzi released a short tribute, which said: “Mitzi Rosanna Steady aged four, loved and missed by us all.”

Mitzi died at the scene of the collision in Lansdown Lane. She had been walking with her grandmother, who remains in a critical condition in hospital.

The Moravian Church offered for floral tributes to be placed next to the memorial tree, which is also part of Weston Free Church.

The Council has placed books of condolence in Weston Library and Bath Library as a more permanent way for people to show their respects.

The Scania tipper truck lorry carrying aggregate was in collision with two pedestrians and several vehicles in Lansdown Lane just after 4pm on Monday.

The lorry overturned onto a Volvo at the bottom of the hill. Three men who were in the car died at the scene from their injuries.

Chief Inspector Norman Pascal said: “This is a tragic incident in which three men and a young girl have lost their lives and we’re carrying out a full and meticulous investigation to find out what happened.”
