An 89-year-old former president of the Gower Society has died following an accident on the peninsula.
Robert Lucas died after his car left the road between Rhossili and Scurlage at about 1545 GMT on Tuesday.
The retired solicitor and author was flown by air ambulance to Morriston Hospital, Swansea, but was pronounced dead on arrival.
A police spokesman said Mr Lucas, who lived in Reynoldston, was extremely well known in the Gower area.
During World War II he served in France and Burma and after the war practised as a solicitor near Cambridge before moving to Gower.
A widower with an extensive family, he wrote books and lectured on the history of Rhossili and Reynoldston.
