North Wales Police are issuing a further appeal to trace a motorcyclist who may be able to assist with an investigation into the fatal road traffic collision which happened on Anglesey this morning (Tuesday 5th April). ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

Officers are keen to trace the motorcyclist who was travelling on the B5109 at the time of the collision. Unfortunately police have no description of the motorcycle. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

Shortly after 7:40am North Wales Police and other emergency services responded to reports of a road traffic collision on the B5109 at the Trefor crossroads near Holyhead, involving a silver Ford Transit van and a pedal cycle. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

Sadly, the pedal cyclist, who has been identified as a local man, was pronounced dead at the scene. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

Investigating Officer, Temporary Sergeant Trystan Bevan said: “Our enquiries into this collision are ongoing and we are keen to trace the motorcyclist, who was travelling from the crossroads towards the general direction of Holyhead sometime between 7am and 8am. I would urge the motorcyclist, if they see this appeal, to come forward as they may have information that could assist our investigation. Similarly, if anyone has any further information about the collision and has not yet spoken to us, please do get in touch.” ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

The road re-opened shortly after 2pm. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​
