A man has appeared in court charged with causing death by dangerous driving after a 25-year-old woman died following a car crash.

Demi Mabbitt died after the crash involving one car on Swansea Road in Merthyr Tydfil at about 23:45 BST on 5 April.

Ms Mabbitt, from Aberfan, was described by her family as a "kind, gentle soul".

Cameron Jones, 29, appeared at Merthyr Tydfil Magistrates' Court on Tuesday.

Mr Jones, of Swansea Road, Merthyr Tydfil, spoke only to confirm his name and address.

He also faces charges of causing death by driving a vehicle whilst uninsured, failing to stop following a road traffic collision and failing to report a road traffic collision.

In a tribute released after her death, Ms Mabbitt's family said she was "a wonderful daughter, granddaughter, sister, auntie and cousin".

"She was the most kind, gentle soul who would do anything to help anyone," they added.

"Our family are devastated, there are no words to describe the heartache and pain we are feeling."
