A worker has died in a machine accident at Tata’s Port Talbot steelworks.

An air ambulance was sent to the scene, with the Welsh Ambulance Service saying a person needed medical attention following the incident at about 14:00 BST on Wednesday.

South Wales Police described it as “an isolated incident” and said there was no threat to the wider public.

A hazardous area response team was also sent to the scene along with an emergency ambulance.

Tata Steel Europe said a full investigation has been launched.

In April, two workers were injured at the plant following an incident after several fires broke out when molten metal came into contact with cold water on a railway track.
