Hot tub fell off van onto the M4 – and then it was gone!

-

SLOW traffic is not unusual during rush hour – but the reason for it yesterday morning was.

A hot tub fell off a vehicle on the M4 westbound from junction 48 for the A4138 Pontarddul­ais Road between Hendy and Llanelli, to junction 49 at the Pont Abraham roundabout near Cross Hands. It caused tailbacks during rush hour.

Dyfed-Powys Police received a call over the incident at 8am. The hot tub was said to be located 200 metres westbound of junction 48.

A rolling road block was put in place and the plan was to remove the hot tub from the carriagewa­y as officers feared it might blow back into the roadway from where it was wedged beneath a barrier.

The South Wales Trunk Road Agency was called to attend the scene. But they added that when they arrived, the hot tub had gone.
