A road has been closed and trains have been delayed after a lorry crashed into a level crossing gate in Carmarthenshire.
Dyfed-Powys Police said the B4328, St John's Street in Whitland was likely to remain closed on Monday morning between St Mary's Street and Velfrey Road.
The incident occurred at around 18:30 GMT on Sunday.
Police said Arriva Trains Wales was experiencing some delays because of damage to the level crossing.

Five passengers were treated in hospital for minor injuries.
