Roads in Froncysyllte reopen after incident response

UPDATE: All roads surrounding the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct have now reopened.

Police added, “Thank you for your patience and understanding as emergency services dealt with the incident”

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.”
