Traffic Wales warned drivers to avoid a main route between Dolgellau and a popular north Wales beauty spot after a crash.
The A494 was shut for four hours between Llanuwchllyn and Rhydymain - the main route between the lake and the coast at Barmouth - following a collision reported by the service just after 7.30am today.
A statement posted to social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, warned that the road was closed in both directions with diversions in place.
