Six people have been taken to hospital after a bus crashed near a coastal town in Wales.
The major incident has now been stood down after emergency services were called to the crash at around 12.20pm near the town of Kidwelly, Carmarthenshire, Dyfed-Powys Police said.
Thirteen people were assessed and discharged at the scene, and a further six people were taken to hospital for further medical attention, the force added.
No injuries were believed to be life-threatening at the scene of the collision.
Welfare arrangements were provided at the John Burns Centre in Kidwelly.
The road affected, the A484 near the Kidwelly roundabout, will remain closed for collision investigators to carry out their inquiries, police said.
Zoe Hand, the managing director of First Bus Franchising – which covers Wales, said: “Our X11 service was involved in an incident earlier this afternoon on the A484 close to the junction with Old Forge Lane, near Kidwelly.
“A team from our depot at Ammanford travelled to scene immediately to support our driver and look after our customers.
“The safety of everyone who travels with us is always our absolute priority and we are working with the police and ambulance service to care for those who need it and understand the circumstances which led to this incident.”
Dame Nia Griffith, MP for Llanelli – which includes Kidwelly, said her thoughts were with those involved.
“My immediate thoughts are with all those people who were involved in the crash, and the emergency services who are helping them,” she said.
“I would reiterate the official request for the public to stay away and find alternative routes to the Parc y Bocs roundabout to Llandyfaelog Road.”
