A number of adults and children have been injured in a serious car crash outside a school in south Wales.

Emergency services were called to Fontygary Road, Rhoose close to Rhws Primary school at 08:50 BST after a car overturned.

The air ambulance have flown casualties to the University Hospital of Wales. There is no information as to the extent of injuries.

South Wales Fire Service have described it as a "very serious accident".

In a statement, South Wales Police said: "Emergency services are currently in attendance at Fontygary Road, Rhoose, following a road traffic collision at around 8.50am.

"A car has overturned near Rhws Primary School and there are a number of casualties - including adults and children.

"The ages of those involved are not yet known. The road has been closed."

The Vale of Glamorgan council said it had no further details at present but would issue updates during the day.

An eyewitness told BBC News she heard reports of a car swerving before hitting people.

"Apparently the driver had a coughing fit and slammed on the accelerator instead of the brake," she said.

"The lollipop lady was escorting a number of kids across the road at the time.

"The road is closed and air ambulances are on the way, heaps of ambulances and fire engines are at the scene."

Rhoose is a village in the Vale of Glamorgan, about 15 miles outside Cardiff. It is situated between the towns of Barry and Llantwit Major.
