🚨 Traffic Chaos on the A48! 🚨
Heads up, folks! The A48 in Carmarthenshire was completely shut down for hours last night after two separate collisions caused major disruption. It all started around 6pm on Monday when the first crash was reported between Llanddarog and Carmarthen. Just 15 minutes later, another collision prompted authorities to close the road in both directions from Foelgastell to Carmarthen. 🚧
Emergency services rushed to the scene, and traffic came to a complete halt, especially around Cross Hands. If you were out on the road last night, you probably felt the impact. Traffic Wales even extended the closure from Cross Hands to Pensarn, sending motorists on a lengthy detour towards Ammanford. 🚗🔁
The dual carriageway didn’t reopen until 6am Tuesday morning, meaning it was blocked for over 12 hours! 😲 Many of you might be wondering why this keeps happening. Well, some revealing data shows that this stretch of the A48 experiences a worrying number of incidents—almost one every two days! With 169 crashes reported in just a year, it’s high time we address these safety concerns. ⚠️
If you were caught up in the chaos, hope your morning commute is smoother today! Stay safe out there, and let’s hope for a calmer week on the roads ahead. 🙏
