THE A487 between Llanrhystud and Llanfarian remains closed this morning after a "serious incident" involving two cars.

Emergency services were called out to the scene of the accident at around 7.45am.

One person involved in the crash suffered injuries and has been taken to hospital. The severity of the injuries is not yet known.

The crash blocked the road, and police have set up diversions while officers examine the scene.

Ambulance and fire crews also attended the scene.

The crash caused commuter chaos this morning with the closed road, the main coastal route into and out of Aberystwyth, causing huge tailbacks and slow-going traffic.
