Andrew Slaughter, 48, died following an incident involving his yellow Triumph motorcycle and a Skoda Octavia near the junction of Cwmdu Industrial Estate.

Mr Slaughter was secretary of the Swansea Deaf Sports and Social Club and worked as an engineer. The BBC quotes his family as saying: “Nothing was too much for Andrew when it came to caring for his friends and colleagues within the deaf community.”
