       And her family have decided to donate her organs to save others - just like she wanted as a "final gift".

       Beca's car smashed into a blue Daf cement mixer lorry at around 5pm last Friday night near Narbeth, Pembs.

       She was flown 90 miles by air ambulance to hospital in Cardiff - but tragically died.

       Her heartbroken family say "loving and kind-hearted" Beca Mai "always cared for others" and had chosen to donate her organs.

       In a tribute, they said: "We are completely devastated in losing Beca. She was such a loving and kind-hearted daughter, sister, friend and teacher and someone who always cared for others.

       "We take great pride that, as a donor, Beca will provide a better life for others as her final gift.
