The driver of the Renault was taken to hospital in Stoke by road.
All three have serious, life-threatening injuries.
The road was closed while officers from the Forensic Collision Investigation Unit carried out their preliminary investigation.
Sergeant Jason Diamond of the Roads Policing Unit is appealing for witnesses.
He said: “Sadly this is now being investigated as a fatal road traffic collision and our thoughts remain with everyone involved.
“We believe that the Renault was travelling towards the Betws-y-Coed area with the Daimler travelling in the opposite direction towards Dolwyddelan and I am urging anybody who may have seen either vehicle being driven prior to the collision, or anybody who may have been travelling along the A470 and who may have dash cam footage to contact us immediately.
“The road remains closed and I’d like to thank the motoring public and local community for their patience and understanding.”
Anybody with information that could help the investigation is urged to contact officers at the Roads Policing Unit via the live web chat or by calling 101, quoting incident number B071845.
