Van goes up in flames on major Swansea route in dramatic video

A van caught on fire on a dual carriageway near a busy Swansea roundabout.

The fire caused slow traffic on the A4067 at M4 J45, Ynysforgan, at around 2.15pm today.

South Wales Police said at the time they were aware of the incident, but had not attended.

Cars were having to stop or slow down due to the large amount of smoke the van was generating.

A spokesman for Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service said: "We had the call at 13.49 this afternoon, and crews from Morriston and Swansea Central attended.

"One vehicle was destroyed in the fire, and two hose reel jets were used to extinguish it.
