THE A5 road in Bethesda was closed earlier this afternoon, following a crash.

Motorists were told to avoid the area as the road was closed in both directions.

At the time, North Wales Police's Bangor and Bethesda team tweeted: "The A5 in Bethesda is currently blocked in both directions due to a single vehicle RTC. Please avoid the area. Thanks."

Police are reminding members of the public to only make trips when essential during the coronavirus lockdown.

NWP teams are patrolling across North Wales to ensure that people are not being put at risk.

Over the weekend, two windsurfers were fined after flouting lockdown measures to visit Porthmadog.
