A woman was killed following a road accident in Newport earlier this evening.
The accident occurred at the city's Cenotaph on Clarence Place at around 6pm.
Eye witnesses said police officers at the scene fought to save the woman's life in the minutes before the ambulance arrived.
A section of Caerleon Road was closed immediately and is expected to remain closed for several more hours tonight as police investigate the cause of the accident.
