Officers from Dyfed-Powys Police were still in attendance late on Tuesday afternoon, with a spokeswoman for the force confirming that the road reopened shortly before 5pm - almost four and a half hours after the crash.
The ambulance service has confirmed that paramedics attended the incident with support from the Wales Air Ambulance, and that two people have been airlifted to the University Hospital of Wales in Cardiff. The severity of their injuries is not known at this stage.
A spokeswoman for the Welsh Ambulance Service said: “We were called today (Tuesday, July 4) at around 12.36pm to reports of a road traffic accident in Carmarthenshire.
