Three hospitalised after multi-vehicle collision on A40

THREE individuals were transported to the hospital following a three-car collision on the A40 on Friday (Mar 15).

The crash involved a black Ford Focus, a blue Toyota Aygo, and a grey Skoda Octavia, occurring on the stretch of road between Scleddau and Fishguard near Dwrbach, leading to significant disruptions.

Emergency services rushed to the scene after the crash, which saw the A40 closed to traffic and diversions established to manage the flow of vehicles.

The occupants of the cars managed to exit the vehicles unaided, and while no serious injuries have been reported, the three individuals were taken to hospital as a measure of caution.

The response included police, firefighters, and paramedics. A fire crew from Fishguard was particularly instrumental, remaining on-site for approximately two hours to ensure the safety of the area and the vehicles involved.

The road closure, which lasted about three hours, prompted quick action from the authorities to minimise inconvenience and ensure public safety.

A spokesperson for Dyfed-Powys Police told The Pembrokeshire Herald: “Police attended a three vehicle road traffic collision which occurred on the A40 between Scleddau and Fishguard at about 6.30pm on
