A WOMAN has been taken to hospital following a car accident on a main Pembrokeshire road.
The incident occurred yesterday morning, Tuesday, June 25, when the woman’s vehicle veered off the A4076 at Steynton Road, near Milford Haven, and collided with a tree. The crash happened shortly before 7.35am.
Emergency services quickly responded to the scene, with police closing the A4076 road in both directions. Drivers were advised to take alternative routes to avoid the closure. Initially, the road was shut from Neyland Road to the B4325 Coombs Road. The closure was later reduced, restricting traffic from Neyland Road to Skomer Drive.
The road remained closed until 10.15am.
The driver, the sole occupant of the vehicle, was transported to the hospital for treatment. Details about her condition have not been disclosed.
A spokesperson for Dyfed-Powys Police provided the following statement: “Police were called just after 7.35am on Tuesday, June 25, to a report that a car had left the A4076 at Steynton Road, Milford Haven, and collided with a tree. The female driver has been taken to hospital. The road was closed and reopened at 10.15am.”

Labour rallies support in Mid and South Pembrokeshire

LABOUR PARTY activists gathered at Pennar Hall, Pembroke Dock, to rally behind their candidate, Henry Tufnell, for the upcoming general election. The event, marked by cheering and the waving of red placards, highlighted what the party says is Labour’s commitment to change.
A notable attendee was the controversial First Minister, Vaughan Gething, who has recently faced backlash for accepting donations totalling £200,000 from a convicted criminal.
Tufnell has called the persistence of noxious odours from a landfill site owned by the convicted polluter who donated £200,000 to Vaughan Gething’s Welsh Labour leadership campaign “completely unacceptable” and deeply worrying for residents.
Further controversy erupted when he was accused of lying to the UK Covid Inquiry and deleting messages to avoid disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act. Additionally, the donor, David Neal, is under scrutiny for potential environmental law violations and tax evasion related to waste disposal at the Withyhedge landfill near Haverfordwest, stirring local discontent due to noxious odours affecting the community.
Vaughan Gething’s presence, especially given the landfill’s proximity, raises questions about whether his involvement will help or hinder Tufnell’s campaign.
Later today (Sunday, Jun 30) Welsh Labour’s Deputy Leader, Carolyn Harris, will bring the Labour Battle Bus to Mid and South Pembrokeshire.
This visit aims to further energise the local base and attract undecided voters, underscoring Labour’s dedication to securing a win in this key constituency.
As the campaign heads into its final days, Tufnell and his team are hopeful, emphasising the need for fresh leadership in the region. However, the controversies surrounding Gething may influence local perceptions, and the overall impact on the election remains to be seen.
Although Labour are leading in the polls in Wales, they are not taking any chances here in Pembrokeshire. The arrival of the battle bus later today shows that the fight is still on between Tufnell and Crabb.
