The family of the man who died following a road traffic collision near Betws-y-Coed last week have paid tribute to him.

Jason Bown was 52-years-old, and came from the Derbyshire area.

His family have issued the following tribute: “We are totally shocked, devastated and heartbroken by the loss of Jason, a much-loved Son, Brother, Nephew and loyal friend to many.

“Jason was born in Baslow, Derbyshire. He was a biker, a perfectionist self-employed painter and decorator. He worked only to fund his love for anything Harley Davidson, to take as many photos of his pride and joy, (his Harley) in as many places as possible.

“Words cannot explain how empty his family, friends and customers lives are now that he’s gone. He will be forever missed by all that knew him.

“We would like to thank the emergency services at the scene and North Wales Police Roads Policing Investigation Unit for their support at this traumatic time."

Officers are continuing to investigate the collision which happened at around 1:30pm on Tuesday, September 7th on the A5 near to Rhydlanfair, Conwy and involved two motorcycles. The other motorcyclist, a 61-year-old man, remains in hospital with serious injuries.

Anybody with information that may assist with the ongoing investigation is urged to contact officers at the Roads Policing Unit by calling 101, quoting incident number 21000623457.
