North Wales Police have issued renewed calls for witnesses and dashcam footage after a major collision on the A541 in Bodfari left seven people hospitalized, including two children with critical injuries.

The three-vehicle crash occurred near the Downing Arms Inn at approximately 19:40 BST on Wednesday, April 23rd, prompting a large-scale emergency response involving air ambulances, the NPAS helicopter, and forensic investigators.

The Audi’s female driver is receiving treatment at Aintree Hospital for life-changing injuries, and another female passenger from the Audi is in critical care in Stoke.

The male driver of a Mercedes A200 sustained life-changing injuries and is being treated at Ysbyty Glan Clwyd. A 20-year-old BMW driver, arrested on suspicion of causing serious injuries by dangerous driving, has been released under investigation.
