A light aircraft has crashed on to a main road but managed to avoid hitting any cars.
South Wales Fire and Rescue Service said everyone on board survived the incident on the A40 near Abergavenny, Monmouthshire.
The road is currently closed between Raglan and Abergavenny.
A train had to make an emergency stop near Abergavenny after being struck by falling power cables as a result of the plane coming down.
'Loud explosion'
Rhodri Jones, who lives about two miles from the scene at Llanover said: "I was in the house and heard a loud explosion.
"Initially we thought it was rail crash because the line is nearby. There was thick smoke."
BBC reporter Rhodri Tomos, who was on the train said: "The guard said that a light aircraft has crashed into some power cables and the cables have hit the train.
"We could smell some burning and we were at a stop for about 15 minutes, but we're moving again now."
Another reporter on the train, Daniel Heard, added passengers were told there had been no fatalities.
He said there was lots of police and ambulance crews on the dual carriageway.
It is the second time in three years in which a light aircraft crashed on the same stretch of road. There is a private landing strip nearby.
