TRAFFIC Wales have helped avoid a driver being injured following an M4 crash.
A car broke down on the M4 in South Wales and stopped on the hard shoulder.
Traffic Wales' control room offered the driver safety advice which they followed, leaving the vehicle while waiting for recovery.
During this waiting period, the car was hit by a passing HGV (heavy goods vehicle).
