AN INVESTIGATION has been launched to confirm the cause of a vehicle blaze in Mold.
The Leader reported on Tuesday evening how the blaze caused the closure of the A5119 Ruthin Road near the junction of Bryn Coch Lane.
A spokesman for North Wales Fire and Rescue Service confirmed the incident, which involved a van, was reported just before 6pm.
One crew from Ruthin attended the scene and used a pair of hose reel jets, a set of breathing apparatus, hydraulic cutting equipment and small tools to tackle the flames.
A spokesman for the Welsh Ambulance said: “We were called on Tuesday (July 16) at approximately 5:58pm to reports of a vehicle on fire in Mold.
"We responded with two ambulances and we were supported by the Wales Air Ambulance. One patient was transported by air ambulance to Whiston Hospital, Prescot.”
The fire service confirmed on Wednesday morning that the van was destroyed and one person was injured in the incident.
An investigation into the cause was launched and will continue today, a spokesman said.
