A LANE on the eastbound M4 was closed after a crash involving a car and lorry in the snowy conditions.

Emergency services were called out to the incident, near junction 27 for High Cross, at around 11.40am on Wednesday, March 8.

Gwent Police has confirmed no injuries were reported as a result of the crash, and the lane was cleared and re-opened shortly afterwards.

“We received a report of a road traffic collision near junction 27 on the M4 at around 11.40am on Wednesday, March 8,” said a Gwent Police spokesperson.

A yellow weather warning was issued by the Met Office from Tuesday evening, and this was extended through until 7am on Thursday. This led to Traffic Wales issuing a warning over poor driving conditions.
