A 63-year-old man has sadly died following a collision on the A548 in Pensarn, Abergele.

At about 9.40pm yesterday evening (Saturday, 20th November), North Wales Police were made aware of a collision in the Pensarn, Abergele area when a pedestrian had been struck by a black BMW.

The vehicle did not stop but was located a short time later and three persons were arrested. They will be interviewed later today.

Emergency services including police and the Welsh Ambulance Service attended but sadly, despite best efforts, the 63-year-old local man succumbed to his injuries at Ysbyty Glan Clwyd. The Senior Coroner for North East Wales has been informed.

Sergeant Raymond Williams of the Roads Policing Unit said: “I offer my profound condolences to the family of the pedestrian at this difficult time. 

“We are currently investigating this incident as a fatal road traffic collision and ask that any witnesses who have not already come forward to contact the police with any information or dash cam footage.

I am particularly keen to receive any dash-cam footage from vehicles that may have seen a black BMW travelling from Rhyl towards Pensarn between 9.30pm and 9.40pm last night (Saturday 20th November).

“I would like to thank road users for their patience and understanding whilst the road was closed to allow our officers and a Forensic Collision Investigator to secure evidence from the scene.”
