Danger road claims another crash victim.

A woman has died in a two-car crash on a notorious road in heavy rain.

Police said the smash happened when the woman's Vauxhall Astra collided with a powerful Subaru Impreza estate on the A465 Heads of the Valleys Road at Merthyr Tydfil.

The driver of the blue Subaru and two passengers from the black Astra were treated at the town's Prince Charles Hospital following the crash at 12.50pm yesterday.

The stretch between Cefn Coed and the Baverstock Hotel was closed for several hours while accident investigators carried out a fingertip search and gathered evidence.

South Wales Police today appealed for witnesses to call the road death investigation team on 029 2022 2111.
