Explained simply
Llandudno is a seaside town in north Wales, and the Great Orme is a headland beside the town with a road, Marine Drive, running along its coast. The route passes steep ground above the sea, so a collision there can involve difficult access for emergency services.
North Wales Police investigate fatal road collisions and are asking people who were in the area to share relevant information. Witness accounts and dashcam footage can help establish what happened and whether any other vehicle was involved.
