Two lorries have been blown over on the M4 as Storm Eunice batters Wales.
Traffic was being held on the motorway between Porthcawl and Margam as gusts of 90mph hit Wales and emergency services dealt with the overturned lorries. A witness at the scene said work was underway to get one of the lorry drivers out of his cab. It has happened on the westbound carriageway of the motorway.
People have been advised to stay at home as the storm passes through Wales — you can follow live updates on Storm Eunice here. A rare red danger to life warning has been issued by the Met Office for much of south and south-east Wales. The whole of Wales is also covered by an amber weather warning for winds of up to 80mph.
Just before 11am it was announced that the Second Severn Crossing was closing because of the conditions. It means that for the first time ever both Severn Crossing have been closed. The M48 Severn Crossing was closed earlier on Friday.
