The crash happened just before 4.30pm, and police say the road will remain closed until further notice while the emergency services deal with the incident.

A Dyfed-Powys Police spokeswoman said officers were now trying to trace the family of the car driver.

She said: "Police are currently dealing with an on-going situation following a fatal road traffic

collision involving a bus and a car.

"A 52-seater bus was involved in a collision with a single car near the Pont Abraham /

Llanedi junction.

"The bus was transporting students from the Ammanford campus of Coleg Sir Gar to Llanelli.

"There were 15 casualties in the bus who were taken to Prince Philip Hospital,

Llanelli and West Wales General Hospital, Carmarthen to be treated for their

injuries.

"Sadly, the driver of the car involved was pronounced dead at the

scene. Enquiries are continuing to trace the next of kin."

She added: "Anyone who witnessed the incident is asked to contact Dyfed-Powys Police."
