Two men in hospital after crash closes city centre road overnight

Two men have been taken to hospital after a collision on a key route in central Newport. Gwent Police is appealing for witnesses and dash-cam footage following a collision at around 3.40pm on Thursday on the A4042 northbound, Heidenheim Drive.

A force spokesperson said: "Officers attended, along with personnel from the Welsh Ambulance Service, following reports of a collision that involved a black Yamaha motorcycle. Two men, a 35-year-old and a 40-year-old who were both thought to be travelling on the motorcycle, were taken to hospital for treatment."

The route's northbound and southbound carriageways were closed from Harlequin roundabout to the top of Junction 25A. We reported on heavy traffic from the Grove Park Roundabout to the A4051, and in surrounding areas, during the evening rush hour and into the night.

A police spokesperson added: "As officers work to investigate the cause of the collision, we’re asking for witnesses, or any motorists with dash-cam footage that were using the road between 3.30pm and 3.40pm to contact us. You can call us on 101 or send us a direct message on Facebook or Twitter, quoting log reference 2300027284 with any details. Alternatively, you can call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111."
