South Wales Police is currently dealing with a serious road traffic collision, which occurred at approximately 8:30am this morning on the southbound carriageway of the A4067 between Pontardawe and Glais.
The collision involved a coach and seven cars. As a result of the collision, an 11 year old male occupant of a Vauxhall Corsa, has received serious injuries, and was conveyed to the University Hospital of Wales in Cardiff by Air Ambulance. Numerous other people received minor injuries. One man has been arrested.
The A4067 remains closed in both directions between Glais and Pontardawe, to allow for vital investigative work to be carried out, and officers would like to thank the local community for their patience and understanding whilst this is ongoing.
South Wales Police would like to speak to any witnesses, who may have left the scene, prior to giving their details to officers, and anyone who may have dash-cam footage of the collision, or of any of the vehicles involved prior to the collision. Anyone with any such information, is asked to contact the Serious Collision Investigation Unit, via 101, quoting reference 1900200890.
