NORTH Wales Police are investigating a Road Traffic Collision in which a 35-year old man sadly died.

Officers were called at 8.14am on Tuesday (April 15) to the westbound carriageway on the A55 near to Kinmel Services at Bodelwyddan, Denbighshire.

Upon attendance, the body of a male pedestrian was discovered. The road was closed whilst a police investigation into the incident was undertaken. The man’s family have been informed and are being supported by specialist officers.

During the course of our enquiries, the 62-year-old driver of a HGV has this afternoon been arrested in connection with the incident, and our investigation is ongoing.

A police spokesperson said: "We are appealing for anyone who travelled along the A55 between 4.50 am and 5.10 am, between St Asaph and Abergele on the westbound or eastbound carriageway, and who has dashcam footage, or who saw a pedestrian on the carriageway to contact us via our live webchat online or on 101 quoting ref C053155.

"Finally, we would remind our online readers that this is still a live investigation. Please do not speculate within the comments, as this may be deemed prejudicial to any potential Court proceedings, and we would also ask that you respect the victim’s family at this difficult time."
