Tributes paid to ‘caring’ biker Adam Frail who died in crash on A494 near Ruthin

Tributes have been paid to a “kind and caring” biker who died in a collision near Ruthin earlier this week.

Emergency services were called shortly after 4pm on Wednesday to a report of a one-vehicle collision on the A494 involving a motorbike.

Despite the best efforts from members of the public and police officers carrying out CPR, sadly Adam Frail was pronounced dead at the scene.

His family have paid tribute to the 28-year-old, who came from the Bootle area of Merseyside.

They said: “We are utterly heartbroken at the tragic loss of our beloved Adam. He was such a kind, caring boy with an infectious laugh and witty personality.

“He was a beloved son, brother, uncle and friend to so many. We cannot begin to express what he meant to us all.

“Biking was his one true love, a love that took him to the Isle of Man each year with his racing team.

“He was part of such a wonderful biking community, who have all come together to show us how loved he was and how missed he will be.

“North Wales was his happy place, and it’s some comfort to us knowing that he died doing what he loved in such a beautiful setting.

“We cannot express how grateful we are to the wonderful people there who comforted Adam after the accident and tried to save him. You looked after him when we couldn’t.

“We’d like to thank North Wales Police who have provided so much support and have shown such compassion to us.

“Also a special thank you to the Caernarfon Air Ambulance for doing everything you could to save him.

“Finally, we thank everyone who has sent messages of condolence and support. We now ask for privacy as we try come to terms with the tragic loss of our wonderful, loving Adam.”

Officers are continuing to appeal for witnesses to the collision which happened near Pentre Smithy, about half a mile from Ruthin towards Mold.
