Fire crews were called in the early hours of this morning to tackle a huge blaze that consumed a 50-seater coach.

Crews from Brecon Fire Station and South Wales Fire and Rescue Service were called just after midnight and descended on the A470 near Brecon to help extinguish the huge fire.

The fire service has confirmed that all passengers on the large coach were accounted for in the dramatic incident. However, the service asked passers-by to keep an eye out for updates from the police, as the removal of the ruined vehicle and the resurfacing of the road could take some time.
