Three men have died after their car collided with a lorry in Cardiff in the early hours of the morning.

The driver and his two passengers were in a grey Ford Focus when it collided with the vehicle on Southern Way at about 4am on Saturday, South Wales Police said.

A spokesman said: "South Wales Police can now confirm that three men who were in the Ford Focus have sadly died."

Road closures were in place while detectives investigated the crash.

A main road into Cardiff - the A4232 between Newport Road and the A48 Eastern Avenue - will remain closed in both directions until midday.

Officers are calling for witnesses to contact them on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
