Police are investigating a report of an orange VW van driving so dangerously, a heavily-pregnant woman said she feared she and her unborn baby would lose their lives as she swerved onto a pavement to avoid it.
NHS receptionist Leah Jones from Merthyr Tydfil was travelling home from work at about 6.05pm on Friday when she said she experienced a terrifying near-miss on Goat Mill Road. Leah, who is 32 weeks pregnant, said she was approaching the roundabout on her way to Dowlais as an orange VW van had just come off it and was heading towards Merthyr town centre.
She said: "He was coming over to my side of the road. It happened so quick but I swerved in by going on top of the pavement and going round him. I think it was very close. He must have been going at some speed to come round like that.
