The A48 was closed between Fernfield and Dinas Baglan Road in Baglan earlier this morning while emergency services attend the scene of the collision.

Images taken by Cee SD and posted to social media show a van hanging off a tall stone wall in a precarious position.

Quite how the van ended up like that has not been officially confirmed, however eyewitnesses say it looked like the van’s handbrake failed and it rolled off a driveway which was at a higher level on top of the stone wall.
