Silver Nissan Crashes Through Wall on Great Orme Toll Road

Police have closed Marine Drive to allow investigators to gather evidence.

Overview

  • The silver Nissan Qashqai was reported driving erratically and was later found on Marine Drive after breaching a stone wall on the Great Orme on Saturday, coming to rest above the area's historic gun sites.
  • Police say the vehicle collided with fences and walls in surrounding farmland before hitting the wall on the single-track toll road.
  • A large multi-agency response including coastguard teams, fire crews and air ambulance attended and the driver was airlifted to hospital with serious injuries.
  • North Wales Police have opened an investigation, closed the road while they work the scene and are asking anyone with dash-cam or mobile footage or witness information to contact them via webchat or 101 quoting reference O110431.
  • Marine Drive is a narrow, one-way scenic route protected by a low dry-stone wall that runs along exposed limestone cliffs and is popular with tourists, which raises public safety questions while investigators determine how the crash happened.
