The A48 closure affected "the very busy dual carriageway" between Swansea and Carmarthen

Two police vehicles were involved in a crash as they responded to a 999 call, leaving four officers injured and a major road closed.

The A48 between Foelgastell and Cross Hands in Carmarthenshire was shut for more than 10 hours after a three-vehicle crash at 01:20 BST on Tuesday.

Dyfed-Powys Police said the third vehicle was not damaged and its two occupants - members of the public - were not hurt.

The officers suffered minor injuries.

The incident happened near the junction for the National Botanic Gardens on the main road between Carmarthen and Swansea.

"Police are investigating a three vehicle road traffic collision, which involved two police vehicles on their way to an immediate call," said a Dyfed-Powys Police spokesman.
