Sadly, a motorcyclist has died following a road traffic collision on the outskirts of Bangor yesterday morning (Thursday, January 30th).
Police were called at 6.55am to a report of a collision on top of the A487 Faenol Hill, near to the junction of Penrhos Road between a Honda motorcycle and a grey-coloured Volkswagen Tiguan.
Emergency services attended the scene, and the motorcyclist was taken to Ysbyty Gwynedd in Bangor where he sadly died.
His next of kin and the coroner have been informed.
The driver of the Tiguan has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and is currently released under investigation.
Sergeant Liam Morris of the Serious collision Investigation Unit is urging anybody who may have been in the area this morning to contact officers.
He said: “Our thoughts remain with the motorcyclist’s family at this incredibly difficult time.
“We would like to hear from anyone who may have witnessed the collision and are yet to speak to us, or anybody who may have been travelling along the A487 around the time of the collision, or just prior, who has dashcam footage to contact us.
“We’d also like to thank those who stopped to help and motorists for their patience whilst the road was closed to allow our Forensic Collision Investigators to carry out their initial enquiries.”
Anybody with information that could assist with the ongoing investigation is urged to contact officers at the Serious Collision Investigation Unit via the website or by calling 101, quoting reference number 25000079908.
The road re-opened shortly before 2:30pm.
