Two men, aged 38 and 41, have been killed in a two-vehicle road crash in Rhondda Cynon Taf. | |
The men were in separate cars on the A4059 when they collided near a supermarket at Cwmbach, Aberdare, just after 15:00 BST on Thursday. | |
Another male was airlifted to hospital and a four-year-old boy was taken to hospital by ambulance with non life-threatening injuries. | |
South Wales Police are appealing for witnesses to come forward. | |
South Wales Fire and Rescue Service said all the passengers had to be cut free from the vehicles. | |
The two men were pronounced dead at the scene, between what is known as the Tinney's roundabout and the Asda roundabout. | |
The 41-year-old man was a front seat passenger in a white Nissan Skyline, while the 38-year-old man was the driver of a blue Citroen Xsara. | |
A police spokesperson said officers wanted to thank the local community for their patience while collision investigation inquiries were carried out because they caused prolonged road closures. | |
