A woman has died after being hit by a car in north Wales at a location popular with people stopping to take pictures of Gwrych Castle, the building used to film the latest series of I'm a Celebrity.
The crash happened at around 5pm on Saturday evening at a place known as Middle Gate on the A547 near Llanddulas in Conwy, and involved one female pedestrian and a car.
The woman, who has not been named, was pronounced dead at the scene.
The driver of the car, a blue Volvo estate, was left shocked following the collision but uninjured.
Police, who were called to the scene at 5.06pm on Saturday, are now appealing for witnesses who may have seen the incident to come forward.
The castle is easily viewable from the location where the crash happened, but there is no suggestion the woman was looking at it at the time of the incident.
Sergeant Emlyn Hughes, of the Roads Policing Unit at North Wales Police, said; “I am appealing for anyone who may have witnessed this tragic incident, or who may have dashcam footage, to contact the Roads Policing Unit.
“The road remains closed and will be for some time as we conduct our investigations.”
Police added that anyone with information should contact them by calling 101.
The Coroner’s officer has been informed of the death.
