Two Powys roads were forced to close after separate serious collisions.

A two-vehicle crash on the A470, between Church Street in Rhayader and the Llangurig roundabout, happened shortly after 11:45 GMT on Friday.

It affected motorists travelling between Builth Wells and Llanidloes before the road reopened by 17:30.

The A483, north of Welshpool, was later shut after a crash involving five vehicles just before 15:00 and the road remained closed into the evening.
