An investigation has begun into a second accident at a level crossing in West Carmarthenshire in just over a month.

It occurred at 6.10 pm on Sunday when a vehicle collided with the barriers at the crossing at St. John Street.

British Transport Police contacted Dyfed-Powys Police, whose officers quickly arrived at the scene and the road was closed.

A British Transport Police (BTP) spokesman said: "At no time was the vehicle obstructing the railway.

"An investigation has been launched and officers will now review CCTV and investigate the full circumstances of the incident."

On Monday, December 19, a heavy goods vehicle carrying hay was involved in a collision with the 9.10 am Milford Haven to Manchester Piccadilly Arriva Trains Wales service at Henllan railway crossing.

Five passengers on the train were taken to hospital suffering from minor injuries and a local man was arrested on suspicion of endangering safety.
