The A470 in Gwynedd was closed in both directions after a crash between Dolwyddelan and Blaenau Ffestiniog, with emergency services at the scene.
North Wales Police said the road was shut following a collision. In a separate but nearby incident reported locally, a bus was said to have collided with an electricity pole, leaving cables across the carriageway and adding to disruption in the area.
The closure caused significant delays for motorists, with the A470 — a key north-south route through Snowdonia — remaining shut in both directions while crews worked at the scene. Traffic Wales issued a road-closure alert for the A470.
Emergency services urged drivers to avoid the area and seek alternative routes. Motorists were advised to expect lengthy delays.
