This dramatic video shows a bus engulfed in flames on a major Welsh road


This dramatic video shows a bus engulfed in flames on the A470 in the early yesterday. The ferocious blaze led to the closure of the road.

It remains shut from the Defynnog turn off (Libanus) to Hirwaun turn off (Nant-ddu) in both directions today. Traffic Wales said it expected the road to remain closed for some time.

People have been warned to find alternative routes if possible. A dramatic video shot by Dark Sky Wales has since emerged showing a bus firmly alight with flames leaping into the blackness, reports WalesOnline.

Fire crews were called at 3.27am to the fire near the Old Coach House. The vehicle was completely destroyed by the heat but no-one was injured and crews later handed control of the clean-up to the council.

The last crews left the scene at 3.54am after extinguishing the blaze.
