Fatal crash

[Red Head]

Terrible crash on the bypass between Crumlin and Abertillery last night. A Renault Clio went passenger side first into a Landrover Defender. The driver and two passengers were killed and a heavily pregnant woman was thrown out of the car. I hope she and the baby are OK.
Anyone know what caused it?

So thats why the road was closed

I came down from Crospenmaen to go right and there were a few police cars around as well as the one that nearly hit me....

That road is quite open and fast, maybe the wind had something to do with it?

Very sad ..

I have a feeling that that road will now become a 40mph limit, if not a 30. I've lost count of the number of bad accidents that road has had, most of them, like this one, caused by rogue sheep or horses.
