Man dies and another seriously injured after crash on Anglesey

A man has died and another has been seriously injured following a crash on Anglesey yesterday evening.

Shortly after 5.30pm police were informed of a single-vehicle collision involving a grey-coloured Seat Leon on the A5 Holyhead Road, between Rhostrehwfa and Turnpike Nant on the outskirts of Llangefni.

Emergency services attended however sadly the driver of the car, a local 28-year-old man, was pronounced dead at the scene.

The male passenger, a 25-year-old local man, was taken to Ysbyty Gwynedd in Bangor but he has since been transferred to hospital in Stoke with serious, potentially life changing injuries.

Sergeant Meurig Jones of the Roads Policing Unit said: “Our profound sympathies are with the man’s family at this difficult time.

“The investigation to establish what happened is underway. We believe that the Seat Leon had travelled on the A4080 from the Ty Croes area and then went on the B4422, travelling through Llangadwaladr, Bethel and Llangristiolus.

“It then travelled along the A5 before colliding with a wall and into a nearby field.

“We are appealing to anybody who may have been travelling along that route and who may have seen the Seat Leon prior to the collision, or to anybody who may have been in the area and who may have dash cam footage, to contact us as soon as possible.”
