South Wales Central MS Andrew RT Davies has called on the Welsh Government to commission an urgent engineering review of the A48, after three people lost their lives in a road traffic accident in Bonvilston, Vale of Glamorgan.

The incident marks the fifth fatality on the stretch of road in the past two years.

Mr Davies said:

“My heart goes out to the families of those who have lost their lives in this tragic accident. It is devastating that this is the fifth fatality on this road in such a short period.

“Senedd ministers must commission an urgent engineering review of this stretch of road to fully assess the risks and identify what measures can be taken to avoid more lives being lost.

“As the A48 is part of the trunk road network, ministers have a direct responsibility to ensure it is safe.”
