A major crash on the M4 has caused significant traffic disruptions near Cardiff, and the situation is only getting more chaotic.
All traffic was halted on the eastbound M4, between junctions 32 and 30, shortly after 8 am on Tuesday. Vehicles involved in the crash have since been moved to the hard shoulder, but the aftermath is still causing long queues and severe delays.
AA traffic reports indicate a 48-minute delay between junctions 33 and 30, with an average speed of just 5 mph. Traffic Wales predicts ongoing severe disruption.
But here's where it gets controversial... the crash's impact extends beyond the M4. Drivers on the A470 and A4232 near Cardiff are also experiencing slow traffic and delays, with queues of up to 25 minutes on the A470 and 10 minutes on the A4232.
And this is the part most people miss... the knock-on effect of such incidents can create a ripple of disruption across multiple routes, affecting not just those directly involved but also commuters and travelers on nearby roads.
Stay tuned for live updates as we navigate this traffic nightmare together.
