TWO crashes in quick succession closed a section of the A449 this afternoon.
One vehicle was involved in the first incident, which Gwent Police said happened between the Coldra (M4) roundabout and the Usk junction shortly after 1.20pm today (Friday).
Then, shortly afterwards, as police officers attended the scene, a second collision happened involving another vehicle and one of the stationary police cars.
The northbound side of the road was closed while the emergency services attended the scene, and a diversion was in place.
