Three people have died after a crash in Beaumaris, Anglesey.

Emergency services responded to reports of a road traffic collision close to Beaumaris Pier shortly after 2.45pm on Wednesday, 28 August.

Police have confirmed that the three victims died at the scene.

Keith Macey, a night manager at a local hotel witnessed a police officer attempt to resuscitate one of the victims.

He said: “It’s been a very big [Emergency Services] response to it. I did see a police officer on his hands and knees doing CPR on somebody for a good five minutes, the officer really, really tried.

"That was before the air ambulance people came. I don’t think he had much luck trying to save the person. It’s absolutely devastating.”

Jason Zalot, Head Flood Warden in Beaumaris, told ITV Wales: "We’re a very popular tourist town, it's peak season now and the town is full to capacity with visitors.

"That’s why we’re all here, this is our life blood. And it is very, very tragic when we hear that people are coming here and not going home."

Member of Parliament for Ynys Môn, Llinos Medi, told ITV Wales: "This is my home town. This is the area where I was brought up. This town means a lot to the tourism sector and a tragedy like this brings us all together.

"We sympathise with everyone involved; families, friends, and also the community that actually volunteered at the time... everyone that came together to support emergency services and we thank them all for taking care of this community at that difficult time.”

She continued: "It is a community where the volunteers get together and support one another. This sort of tragedy is something that nobody prepares for. Nobody expected something like this this morning.

"We have to respect the Emergency Services that had to deal with this situation and the volunteers that had to deal with his situation. They just took charge and made sure everything moved smoothly, even though this tragedy had just happened.”

A statement from North Wales Police said: "Officers attended along with fire, ambulance and air ambulance crews.

"Sadly, three people were pronounced deceased at the scene.

"Our efforts to establish the full circumstances of this incident remain ongoing.

"We continue to appeal to people to avoid the area of the High Street, which is expected to be closed for some time."
