| Amazing nobody killed |
Images just in of a crash on the A467, when the driver of a Vauxhall car lost control whilst driving at high speed, crashed through a fence, flew a large distance through the air and landed in South Griffin Terrace in a mangled heap.
There were no reports of injuries and the Engine from Blaina Fire Station was on the scene within 6 minutes of the call being reported.

| Someone was very lucky tonight |
Now on this occasion, fortunately there was no loss of life but this is the same area of road where there was a fatal road traffic collision in 1989 but when Blaina responded to the call, they did not know what they would be facing when they arrived at the scene.

| Just feet from a occupied home |
Looking at the images, it is a miracle that the car did not smash into a home and so on this occasion the crew from Blaina Firestation only had a mess to clean up and not bodies.
I would not have their job for a gold cow but if the Fire Service have their way, our boys won't have a job either.
This accident underlines the reasons why we must not lose our fire station.
this is the same location as the fatal 1989 accident where one of the crew identified the person killed as a friend yet still carried on and extricated the person regardless with professionalism and dignity
