Traffic Wales cameras show queuing traffic on the road

The Prince of Wales Bridge has fully reopened after it was shut for more than two hours due to a crash.

Both carriageways of the M4 were closed following the collision involving a van and a car at about 16:30 GMT.

However, Highways England said a lane was opened eastbound to "alleviate the trapped traffic" at about 21:15 before the westbound carriageway was cleared more than an hour later.

Barriers were damaged, but it is not yet known if anyone has been hurt.

The road was affected in both directions between J22 M49 to J23 M48.
