Police have launched an investigation into an ‘argument’ at a caravan park, which allegedly occurred just hours before the horrific Cardiff car crash that left three dead and two seriously injured.
Details of the arrest are not yet clear, but it is believed to have happened at Trecco Bay caravan park in Porthcawl, where the group had traveled 40 miles after leaving a nightclub in Newport, South Wales, last Friday night.
After the group left the caravan park, a sixth passenger, a man who has not been named, was reportedly dropped off at his home in Cardiff. Detectives are now on the hunt for this man.
Eve Smith and her boyfriend Darcy Ross, both 21, were killed in the collision alongside Rafel Jeanne, 24. And Sophie Russon, 20, and Shane Loughlin, 32, both remain in critical condition after being in the wreckage for nearly two days.
The white Volkswagen Tiguan transporting the group was discovered in trees just yards from the A48 in Cardiff in the early hours of Monday morning – and may have been sitting there undetected for 48 hours.

Darcy Ross, 21, (pictured) was also killed in the incident. The group were last seen in the car at 2am on Saturday on CCTV footage taken at a petrol station in the Pentwyn area of Cardiff, not far from the scene of the crash.
Sophie Russon, 20, underwent life-saving surgery in hospital after fracturing her skull in the crash, which led to bleeding in her brain
