Four people have been killed in a major explosion at an oil refinery in south-west Wales. It is understood that two petrol tankers collided inside the Chevron plant in Pembroke Dock, Dyfed, on Thursday, killing both the drivers.
One of the tankers was completely destroyed in the explosion, according to Mid and West Wales fire and rescue service.
Chevron confirmed that the four people who died were contractors and said another worker was receiving treatment in hospital for serious injuries.
