Crash near Welshpool on A458 leads to slow rush-hour traffic

Eyewitnesses say that two vehicles appear to have been involved in the collision on the A458 on the bend on the bridge over the railway entering Trewern. There are police present on the scene, and while the road remains open, traffic is backing up and moving slowly past the incident. The eyewitness said: "Going towards Welshpool the traffic is backed up past Fabrizio's now.

"It looks like it involves one car and one van.

It doesn't appear to be serious and there was no sign of an ambulance, but it does look like it might take a little while to clear as the vehicles are on opposite sides of the road."
