A crash which saw two people taken to hospital closed a stretch of the M4 yesterday.

South Wales Police was called to the scene of a single-vehicle crash on the M4 westbound at junction 47 (Swansea West/penllergaer) at around 2pm.

A diversion route was put in place and police were asking motorists to avoid the area at that time.

Police confirmed just before 4pm that all lanes had re-opened.
