A CRASH between three cars caused a major backlog of traffic on a busy roundabout on Sunday morning. 

A large emergency services presence, including  a number of police cars and ambulance, were seen at the Tredegar Park, also known as the Pont Ebbw roundabout, around 10.45am on Sunday, September 15.
