Man dies after being hit by car which ‘did not stop’ in Pensarn

A man has died after being hit by a car which reportedly failed to stop, police have confirmed.

The 63-year-old died following a collision on the A548 in Pensarn, Abergele at about 9.40pm last night.

North Wales Police were made aware of reports that a pedestrian had been struck by a black BMW and said the car did not stop.

It was located a short time later and three people were arrested, who will be interviewed later today.

Emergency services including police and the Welsh Ambulance Service attended but, despite their best efforts, the local man died from his injuries at Ysbyty Glan Clwyd.

The senior coroner for north east Wales has been informed.

Sergeant Raymond Williams of the Roads Policing Unit said: “I offer my profound condolences to the family of the pedestrian at this difficult time.

“We are currently investigating this incident as a fatal road traffic collision and ask that any witnesses who have not already come forward to contact the police with any information or dash cam footage.

“I am particularly keen to receive any dash-cam footage from vehicles that may have seen a black BMW travelling from Rhyl towards Pensarn between 9.30pm and 9.40pm last night (Saturday 20th November).

“I would like to thank road users for their patience and understanding whilst the road was closed to allow our officers and a forensic collision investigator to secure evidence from the scene.”
