A pedestrian was airlifted to hospital after being struck by a car in a Gwynedd town this morning.
The A496 in Llanbedr was partially closed for five hours after the person, believed to be an elderly woman, was hit at around 11.20am.
Wales Ambulance Service have confirmed they sent one land ambulance and the air ambulance to the incident which happened outside The Victoria Inn pub.
A spokesman for the ambulance service said: “We were called on Wednesday, June 26, at approximately 11.27am to reports of a road traffic incident involving a single vehicle and a pedestrian in Llanbedr.
"We responded with one ambulance and we were supported by the Wales Air Ambulance.
"One patient was transported by air ambulance to the North Staffordshire City General Hospital.”
The road remained partially blocked until around 4.30pm while North Wales Police dealt with the incident with officers Tweeting for motorists to avoid the area and describing the incident as a "serious RTC".
Locals have since described the area as a "dangerous crossing" adding that the road is "notoriously bad".
One resident who works in the area said: "It's a horrible road and it's not nice to hear what's happened.
"The road has been busy all day and it was an accident waiting to happen.
"It was always going to be a young child or an elderly person and unfortunately that's what's happened today."
North Wales Fire and Rescue Service say they were not called to the scene.
