Further Appeal After Pedestrian Died Following Collision On A5

Thursday 27 Feb 2020

Officers who are investigating the fatal collision where a pedestrian sadly died on Anglesey on Tuesday night are appealing for a key witness to come forward.

The investigation has identified a man who provided first aid to the victim before the emergency services arrived.

Sergeant Meurig Jones of the Roads Policing Unit said: “We know this man tried to help the victim and therefore we believe he may have important information that can help us progress with our enquiries.

“If you were that man please get in touch with us as soon as possible by calling us on 101 or contacting us via our website quoting incident number Y027144.”

The collision between a black Ford Fiesta and the pedestrian, 54-year-old Dean Short, happened shortly after 7pm on the A5 London Road leading towards Valley.

Sgt Jones added: “Our sympathies go out to Mr Short’s family and friends at this difficult time.

“We are still appealing for anybody who witnessed the incident, or who saw a man walking between Tesco and the scene of the collision between 6:30pm and shortly after 7pm, and who are yet to contact us to do so as soon as possible.”

Anybody with information that could assist with the investigation, or if anybody was travelling in the area and who has dash cam footage, is asked to contact officers at the Roads Policing Unit on 101 or via the live webchat quoting reference number Y027144.
