Police have closed parts of both sides of the M4 in Wales following two crashes early this morning

Following two accidents this morning, police have closed sections of both sides of the M4 in Wales.

According to police, the first incident occurred about 5 a.m., forcing the closure of the Eastbound lane between Junctions 29 and 30 at Cardiff Gate.

A second collision occurred about 8 a.m., requiring the closure of the Westbound lane between Junctions 24 Coldra (including the slip road) and 25 Caerleon.

Traffic Wales South said: ‘Heavy congestion travelling in both directions.

‘Emergency services are on scene. Please find alternative route if you’re travelling.’

South Wales Police described the second incident as ‘serious’, without giving details.

Around 6am, the force tweeted: ‘South Wales Police are currently dealing with a serious incident on the M4 at junction 30 eastbound.

‘The road will be closed until further notice, we would recommend that alternative routes be used. Thank you for your patience and understanding.’

A Welsh Ambulance Service spokesperson said: ‘We were called to an incident near junction 30 of the M4 earlier today, with multiple resources sent to the scene.’
