A539 closed by Plas Madoc after ‘car and cow collide’

Update: The road has since reopened.

Armed police were seen assisting officers with the incident, and one eyewitness has said the vehicle involved was very badly damaged.

The Welsh Ambulance service have previously said, “While we appreciate some incidents may be of interest to the public, this is not the same as in the public interest. We therefore no longer respond to enquiries about routine incidents, including minor RTCs, unless there is significant disruption or other extenuating circumstances. Most RTCs on the thousands of miles of road we serve are minor and do not involve serious injury or major disruption.”

Update: Police have said, “Officers are currently dealing with an RTC involving a car and livestock on Llangollen Road, Acrefair.

“The road is currently closed and motorists are advised to avoid the area and use alternative routes.”
