AN ELDERLY man has been left seriously injured following a collision on the A55 in Flintshire last week.

The Leader reported on a two-vehicle collision at 10.30am on Friday (February 14) on the A55 eastbound just prior to the Caerwys off-slip - whereby a grey coloured Suzuki Jimny, being driven by the man, collided with a HGV which was parked in the layby.

The driver, aged in his 70s, was airlifted by the Air Ambulance to hospital in Stoke, where he remains with serious injuries, North Wales Police said.

Inspector Nicky Collins of the Roads Policing Unit is appealing for any witnesses to come forward.

She said: “Anybody who may have seen the collision, or who may have seen the grey coloured Suzuki Jimny just prior to the collision, is urged to contact us as soon as possible.”

Anybody with information is asked to contact officers at the Roads Policing Unit on 101 or via the live webchat quoting reference number Y021455.
