Three people have died in a road collision in Anglesey (Ynys Môn), police have said.
North Wales police said officers responded to reports of a collision in Beaumaris shortly after 2.45pm on Wednesday. Three people were pronounced dead at the scene in Alma Street, on the seafront near Beaumaris pier.
Fire, ambulance and air ambulance crews also went to the incident. Police urged people to avoid the area, including the nearby High Street, which they said was expected to be closed “for some time”.
Virginia Crosbie, the former Conservative MP for Ynys Môn, said in a statement on Facebook: “My thoughts and prayers go out to the victims, their families and loved ones.”
A Welsh ambulance service spokesperson said: “We sent two emergency ambulances, one Cymru high-acuity response unit paramedic, one advanced paramedic practitioner, one duty operational manager and one locality manager to the scene.
“We were supported by pre-hospital immediate care specialists from North Wales Emergency Doctor Service and advanced critical care support was delivered by the Emergency Medical Retrieval and Transfer Service in a Wales air ambulance charity helicopter.”
Ch Insp Caroline Mullen-Hurst, of North Wales police, said: “Sadly, we can confirm that three people have been fatally injured in the incident. We are appealing to anybody who witnessed the incident that hasn’t already spoken to officers, or anybody who might have dashcam footage, to please get in touch.”
Witnesses can make contact via the North Wales police website or by calling 101.
