The Incident That Brought the A55 to a Halt
Most motorway closures are caused by accidents, breakdowns or roadworks. This one was different. Police in North Wales were forced to shut part of the A55 after a stolen taxi entered the dual carriageway travelling in the wrong direction, creating a potentially catastrophic situation that unfolded after a cyclist was struck and several parked vehicles were damaged in Holyhead. Thankfully, officers were able to bring the vehicle to a stop before the incident became even more s
