📣 Traffic Alert! 🚛
An overturned Amazon lorry on the M4 has thrown your Thursday morning commute into chaos! A collision between a car and lorry near Margam, Port Talbot, forced the police to shut down both directions to manage the situation and allow emergency services access. The eastbound side has since reopened, but westbound remains closed between junction 37 (Pyle) and junction 38 (Margam).
Thankfully, no serious injuries have been reported, and applause to the Ambulance Service for confirming no hospital runs were needed. 🚑
Drivers are facing delays of up to 73 minutes as they manoeuvre detours through Pyle, which is struggling with increased traffic due to ongoing roadworks. Local councillor Rhys Watkins expressed his frustration, suggesting that manual light control could’ve averted this bottleneck.
For those affected, diversions are sending traffic via the A48, but brace yourself: it’s not much better there due to temporary lights!
Hang in there, folks, and remember to drive safely! If you’re stuck, why not share your stories or gripes with us in the comments below? Let’s get through this together! 🚗💬
