The M4 has been reopened after a serious crash near Newport yesterday which injured 13 people.

The crash between junction 25 and 26 on the eastbound carriageway involved a lorry, a bus and a car and happened just before 9.30am. The M4 was eventually completely reopened at 5pm.

Two people were seriously injured.

The driver of the bus who was injured has been taken by air ambulance to Morriston hospital, the passenger on the bus who was injured has also been taken to the University Hospital of Wales in Cardiff.

The eastbound carriageway had been shut between junction 28 Tredegar Park and junction 24 Coldra as emergency services dealt with the crash. Part of the westbound carriageway was also closed for several hours crash investigators carried out work.

The coach was carrying 57 students from abroad who had been been visiting Wales on a sports tour.
