Emer-G-Med paramedics say the woman suffered serious injuries in the multi-vehicle crash. 


While the circumstances surrounding the collision are not yet known, reports from the scene are that a truck ploughed into dozens of vehicles near the M4 on ramp on the eastbound side. 


Earlier, medics said they were treating more than ten people with injuries ranging from minor to serious.
