APPEAL TO DRIVER
North Wales Police are appealing for the driver of a passing blue car to come forward.

"I am appealing to the driver of that vehicle to please make contact with us to assist with our ongoing investigation.
"Equally I am also appealing to anybody who may have been travelling along the A525 around the time of the collision to make contact with us.
