The vehicles involved were safely removed from the road and the blocked lane reopened at 10.15am, with Gwent Police later confirming no one was injured in the crash. 

Traffic Officers were called to the scene to assist with traffic management, and the congestion caused by the blocked lane had returned to normal by just after 10.30am.
