A woman has been taken to hospital with what have been described as "serious injuries" following a crash on the M4 near Bridgend. The collision happened on the M4 eastbound carriageway between junctions 35 and 36 at around 6pm on Thursday night (January 19).
The carriageway was closed completely while emergency services worked at the scene and investigations were carried out. Cars were stuck in long tailbacks, with one driver saying they had been stuck for around two hours near McArthur Glen. Others had been sat in their cars for more than three hours
Police asked motorists to avoid the area while congestion was dealt with and said they were assisting drivers to turn around and return along to junction 35. Two lanes have since re-opened - meaning eastbound traffic can begin flowing once more.
