That's a good idea Bri.      When I was driving to work in Bangor some years ago I was stopped at the Llanfairfechan roundabout by the Police and they were redirecting traffic back to the Junction
The road was blocked due to flooding west of Aber so I just returned home and had a day off work but if I had seen a sign like you have mentioned I could have gone to Bangor via Capel Curig

My daughter has just phoned, Hugo.

They are now on their way back from YG but stuck in a queue on the A55 because of an accident on the other side of the road but in the same vicinity as the earlier accident.


Ambulance Service Statement

We were called on Wednesday 21 August at approximately 11.18am to reports of the A55 near Abergwyngregyn.
“We responded with two emergency ambulances. The incident is currently ongoing.”

And another one.........

The eastbound carriageway of the A55 has been shut at Llangefni in Anglesey after the trailer - which was carrying a minibus - came loose from the vehicle carrying it and crashed into the central barrier.  ref DP

That's hard luck Bri but I hope that the journey was worth it and that your daughter is ok

There was an update on today's hearing at Llandudno Magistrates Court 
Carys Parry, defending Waterhouse, said: "He takes full responsibility for the devastating events of the early hours of Monday morning on this campsite.

"He's truly and deeply remorseful for his actions."         &shake&         That's a stock phrase that all the defence solicitors seem to repeat in traditional Parrot fashion nowadays

There were 4 people taken to Bangor Hospital as a result of the collision on the A55 by Aber.   It was certainly a bad day on that road today

Wonder if the driver will now face causing death by dangerous driving? Very sad.

Been rather busy down there.

A 24-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of wounding following an incident which closed part of a major road in Conwy county on Friday.

Two people were taken to hospital, one via air ambulance, after a fight which shut the A470 at Maenan, near Llanrwst.

A weapon has been recovered from the scene and North Wales Police are not looking for anyone else.

Police were called to the scene at about 12:05 BST and the road reopened shortly after 15:00.

David Hughes, manager of the nearby Maenan Abbey Hotel, said a woman used the hotel's phone to report that a man covered in blood tried to grab her car keys."

A strange by unpleasant affair it seems.

I'm sure Steve will unearth the grisly details soon.

The local news is the same as the BBC is reporting, apart from "The local schools were put on lock-down while police dealt with the incident."   

"Grisly" details tomorrow if any.
