Police appeal after fatal road collision near Caerphilly

Police are appealing for information after a fatal road traffic collision on the Northbound A468, just before the Pontypandy Roundabout, Caerphilly at approximately 03:30 today.

The collision involved one vehicle, a blue coloured Seat Ibiza.

There were two men in the vehicle, one from the Bridgend area and one from the Maesycwmmer area.

A 24-year-old male passenger was pronounced dead at the scene and officers are supporting his family at this time.

The 24-year-old male driver was taken to hospital and is stable.

This is usually a busy stretch of road with lots of traffic, however at that time of the morning it would have been quieter. We are appealing for witnesses to this collision and I would ask anyone who saw this incident to contact us, if they haven't already, or anyone who saw this vehicle beforehand in the Caerphilly or Blackwood area to call us on 101"
