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.
A spokesperson for South Wales Police said: “We’re at the scene of a serious collision on the A48 Briton Ferry to Baglan, Neath.
“The road is currently closed in both directions between Fernfield to Dinas Baglan Road.
“It is expected to remain closed for some time; please avoid the area and use alternative routes where possible. We’re grateful for your patience.”
Police later issued an update to say the road was reopened at 11.41am.
