A 16-year-old boy who died after his bicycle was hit by a car in Cardiff has been described by his family as a 'beacon of joy'. Miracle Oladoyinbo was involved in a collision on Penarth Road at its junction with Clare Road, Grangetown, at 12.27pm on Wednesday, March 25.
The teenager, a talented musician, was riding his bike when it collided with a SsangYong Tivoli. South Wales Police have launched an investigation into the incident and are appealing for witnesses and dashcam footage.
In a tribute, Miracle's family said: 'Miracle Oladoyinbo was a beacon of joy and compassion, a 16-year-old whose life was defined by a profound love for God and an unwavering commitment to his faith. A gifted musician, he didn't just play music; he used his talents as a ministry to uplift spirits and bring comfort to everyone around him.'
A memorial has been created at the scene, decorated with flowers, candles, and messages from loved ones. Among the tributes are a school shirt covered with messages from classmates and a 'Class of 2025' hoodie. A mother of one of the boy's friends said: 'I've been crying for three days. Today is the only day when the tears have finally stopped.'
Police are urging anyone with information to contact 101, quoting reference 2600092224, or submit information online.
