Police tell Wales football fans not to use main Cardiff road amid major emergency response

Police have urged Wales supporters attending tonight's Euro 2024 qualifying game against Latvia at Cardiff City Stadium not to use a major road into the city.

It comes after a major emergency service response was launched following an accident involving a pedestrian on one of Cardiff's busiest roads.

North Road is currently closed in both directions with all emergency services in attendance. You can follow live updates here.

South Wales Police have told fans attending the match, which kicks off at 7.45pm at the home of Cardiff City, to find an alternative route to the stadium.

Local bus routes in the area have also been diverted, with North Road set to be closed for some time.

Fans have therefore been advised to avoid the area.

The incident happened on North Road between Cathays High School and the Stratstone Garage.

A statement from South Wales Police said: "At 12.49pm today, South Wales Police was called to a report of road collision on North Road in Cathays.

"Police and ambulance are in attendance. Road closures are in place and motorists are advised to avoid the area."

A Welsh Ambulance Service spokesperson said: "We were called at approximately 12:50 today, 28 March, to a road traffic accident involving a pedestrian on North Road in Cardiff.

"We deployed two rapid response vehicles carrying advanced paramedic practitioners, an emergency ambulance and were supported by the Emergency Medical Retrieval and Transfer Service. One patient was conveyed to the University Hospital of Wales for further treatment."
