A major disruption is impacting a key route into Cardiff this morning, causing significant traffic delays. Here's the latest on this developing situation.
The A4232 link road, a vital artery into the city, is partially blocked between Culverhouse Cross and the Leckwith Interchange. Initially, it was reported as a collision, but the real culprit is a broken-down vehicle, according to traffic monitoring service Inrix. This has led to heavy traffic and queueing, with drivers facing longer journey times.
But here's where it gets controversial... The incident comes amidst adverse weather conditions, with the Met Office issuing a yellow warning for snow and ice. This raises questions about the impact of weather on road safety and the preparedness of authorities and drivers alike.
