A caravan has overturned on the M4 motorway near Bridgend, causing significant traffic disruption as emergency services respond to the scene.
The incident has brought traffic to a crawl in the area, with drivers facing lengthy delays as crews work to clear the carriageway and make the scene safe.
Emergency services were called to the motorway following reports of the overturned caravan, with police and recovery teams attending to deal with the aftermath. The exact circumstances of how the caravan came off its tow remain unclear at this stage.
Drivers travelling through the Bridgend stretch of the M4 are being urged to allow extra time for their journeys or consider alternative routes where possible. Traffic monitoring services have flagged the area as heavily congested, with queues building in both directions as rubbernecking and lane restrictions add to the delays.
The M4 is one of the busiest roads in Wales, serving as a major artery connecting Cardiff and Swansea with the rest of the motorway network. Any incident along this stretch tends to have a knock-on effect across a wide area, with commuters and freight traffic both feeling the impact.
Authorities have not yet confirmed whether anyone was injured as a result of the incident, though emergency services remain on scene. Motorists are advised to stay updated through traffic reports and to follow any signage or instructions from officers at the scene.
More updates are expected as the situation develops and the carriageway is cleared.
