Ambulance Service 'devastated' after driver crash

The Welsh Ambulance Service says it's 'absolutely devastated' and their thoughts are with the family of a driver who died in a crash on the A499 near Pwllheli.

“We were all absolutely devastated to hear about this tragic accident, and our thoughts are with everyone involved

We’re doing everything we can to support our affected colleagues, and are working hard to understand what happened."

– Sonia Thompson, the Trust's Head of Operations in North Wales

“Our thoughts this evening are with everyone affected by this incident, but particularly with the family of the colleague we have lost.

As an ambulance service we deal with road traffic accidents on a daily basis. These are always difficult for our staff to deal with, but even more so when they involve our colleagues.

We have plans in place to support our staff in Pwllheli and the wider Gwynedd area over the coming days.”

– Richard Lee, the Welsh Ambulance Service's Director of Operations
