Cyclist in critical condition after collision with tractor

A cyclist is in hospital in a critical condition after a collision with a tractor and trailer. The male casualty was airlifted to hospital with life-threatening injuries following the incident near Denbigh on Friday, October 6.

Police are appealing for witnesses to the crash to come forward, and officers say they are particularly keen to hear from the driver of a small white van or car who may have witnessed the collision but who left the scene. North Wales Police[1] say the incident happened at around 4pm on A541 in Bodfari.

The road was closed on Friday night while police carried out an examination of the scene. The cyclist remains in a specialist unit in hospital in Stoke.

Sergeant Emlyn Hughes of North Wales Police's roads crime unit urged anyone with information or dashcam footage - and especially the driver of the small white vehicle seen in the area - to come forward. He said: "We are urging the driver of the small white van or car to make contact with us as soon as possible as they may have key information that could assist with our investigation."
