URGENT UPDATE: Police are currently managing two significant road closures in Gwynedd due to hazardous conditions. The first closure affects a road at Ynys, near Criccieth, following a serious crash. Meanwhile, the A487 has been shut down between Tan-Y-Bwlch and Penrhyndeudraeth because mud accumulation has rendered the road treacherous.
This developing situation is critical for local commuters and residents, as both roads are essential routes in the region. Authorities are urging drivers to seek alternative paths and exercise extreme caution in the area. As of now, there are no reported injuries from the crash at Ynys, but the response from emergency services is ongoing.
Local police are on the scene and are actively investigating the crash while coordinating the road closures. They emphasize the importance of safety during adverse weather conditions, which have contributed to the mudslide incident on the A487.
