It's claimed that the "driver had a coughing fit and slammed on the accelerator instead of the brake”

Ten children have been taken to hospital following 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 ambulance service is dealing with "multiple casualties" with some flown to the University Hospital of Wales but it understood that no-one has died.

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.

Small mercies and all that.

I was going to say it makes me wonder why he was going so fast that in a school area that it caused the car to flip - but if he accidentally hit the wrong pedal then that explains it. I've heard this happening before with sleeping policemen.

Some pictures of the car on the Daily Hate now... amazed that it flipped over just hitting the bollards looking at it.

Why should he have to explain why he's posted it? Its news, local news for him. Sometimes you need to 'low it!
