A PASSING 'good Samaritan' helped clear a large tree branch that had come down and was partly blocking the A486 between Pentre-Cwrt and Llandysul this morning (Friday, June 15).

Drivers had been warned by Ceredigion Roads Policing Unit to expect delays and seek an alternative route until highways officials could clear the obstruction.

However, a passing timber lorry and crane stopped to help clear the obstruction and the road is now fully open.
