Police have declared a major incident after a bus crash in west Wales.

Dyfed-Powys police said on Tuesday afternoon there had been a collision involving a bus on a roundabout on the A484 on the outskirts of Kidwelly, in Carmarthenshire.

Wales Online reported that at least 26 people were injured and the bus had flipped on to its side.

Two Wales air ambulance helicopters were at the scene along with ground paramedics and police. The road between the Kidwelly roundabout and Llandyfaelog has been closed until further notice.

Nia Griffith, the MP for Llanelli – which includes Kidwelly, said her thoughts were with those involved. “My immediate thoughts are with all those people who were involved in the crash, and the emergency services who are helping them,” she said.

“I would reiterate the official request for the public to stay away and find alternative routes to the Parc y Bocs roundabout to Llandyfaelog Road.”

More details soon …
