M4 Westbound Brought to Standstill by Morning Accidents
Severe travel chaos engulfed the M4 motorway this morning following two separate accidents occurring within 200 metres of each other. The initial incident, reported at 7:28 am on November 14, 2025, involved a collision where a person became trapped inside their vehicle, requiring emergency services to perform a complex rescue.
Emergency Rescue Operation Unfolds
Fire crews rushed to the scene on the M4 Westbound and were forced to use hydraulic cutting equipment to free the individual from the wreckage. Shortly after the first emergency call, a second incident was reported just 200 metres away. This secondary collision was a more serious four-vehicle crash, further compounding the travel disruption during the morning rush hour.
Lane Closure and Severe Delays Continue
According to the South Wales Fire and Rescue Service, crews already on the scene used specialised equipment called Gojacks to clear the carriageway. Despite these efforts, the aftermath of the two accidents continues to cause significant travel problems. Traffic was brought to a standstill, and one lane remains closed, leading to ongoing severe delays for motorists. This is a developing story.
