Three teenagers have been killed and two others have sustained life-threatening injuries after a car collided with a bus in Coedely, Wales.
In a statement, South Wales Police said: "At around 7pm last night (Monday 11 December) emergency services were called to the scene of a serious road traffic collision involving a bus and an Audi A1 on Ely Valley Road, Coedely.
"Three men - two aged 18 and one aged 19 - were declared dead at the scene. Two further men, aged 18 and 19, were taken to the University Hospital of Wales, Cardiff with life-threatening injuries.
"Two other people were also treated for minor injuries.
"The road has remained closed while investigations into the collision continue."
Superintendent Esyr Jones of South Wales Police said: "Our thoughts are with everyone affected by this tragic incident. Trained family liaison officers are supporting the families at what must be an extremely difficult time for them."
The force previously asked for anyone with dash cam footage or who witnessed the collision to get in touch.
Graham Drew lives on nearby Gladys Street, and told Sky News: "It is a stretch of road that is quite dangerous."
"This was an accident waiting to happen."
He said the community was "obviously very concerned about what has just happened".
"We did open the community centre to ask people to go in and have a cuppa and I do believe that police spoke to the people there to communicate with the families related to the incident."
Another local resident who did not wish to be named told Sky News she could see lights when she looked out of her bedroom window on Monday evening.
"Within five minutes, there was a woman trying to get down and they wouldn't let her and she was screaming 'My boy, my boy'," she said.
"Everybody's stunned. We're just stunned. It's terrible. No words for it."
