Major incident declared after bus crash near roundabout

Emergency services are dealing with a major incident following a bus crash near a roundabout.

Dyfed-Powys Police said the crash happened on the A484 near the Kidwelly roundabout in Carmarthenshire, south-west Wales.

The force added the road was currently closed between the roundabout at Parc y Bocs and Llandyfaelog, and motorists were asked to find alternative routes.

Officers on the scene told BBC Wales there had been no fatalities.

Emergency services are at the site and asking and members of the public to stay away from the area until further notice.

Hywel Dda health board said its teams were responding to the incident.

"Our emergency departments are busy, and waiting times are likely to be longer as we treat individuals with the greatest need first," it said.

Local vicar Father Jim Flanagan said he was re-routed due to the road closures and saw the roof of a bus over a hedge.

He added there were multiple ambulances there, with lights flashing, and an air ambulance had landed in a field.

One of his churches, St Mary's in Kidwelly, has been opened should people wish to use it, he said.

The A484 is a popular route which connects Carmarthen with Kidwelly, Burry Port and Llanelli.

Local attractions include Pembrey Country Park and Cefn Sidan beach - both busy with visitors in the summer months.

In Tuesday's high temperatures, police have been directing traffic away from the scene, which is not visible beyond the cordon.

Two officers are stationed by the roundabout and drivers appear to be keeping away as per their instructions.
