A woman who was injured in a road collision involving two cars and a loose horse on Tuesday (19 February) has since died, police have confirmed.
The woman, a passenger in one of the vehicles, suffered critical injuries in the accident and was taken to hospital but died in the early hours of this morning (22 February).
North Wales Police officers have been appealing for witnesses to the collision, between a BMW X3, a Daihatsu and the horse, which took place at about 7.30pm. The injured woman was a passenger in the BMW, but neither driver was hurt.
