Two pedestrians were among the three people killed in a car crash near a pier in Anglesey, police have confirmed.

The male and female pedestrians were both in their 60s and not local to the North Wales area.

The driver of the vehicle, who also died in the collision, was a local man in his 80s.

North Wales Police responded in the town of Beaumaris shortly after 2.45pm on Wednesday and confirmed three people died at the scene on Alma Street, close to Beaumaris Pier.

Police say the vehicle involved in the crash was a grey Audi A8.

Members of the public and the emergency services all responded to the incident.

Sergeant Emlyn Hughes from the serious collision investigation unit said the force's "deepest condolences remain with the families of the three who were fatally injured".

"Yesterday's collision will have had a profound effect, not only on the families of all those involved, but also to the wider community of Beaumaris," he said.

"I would like to take this opportunity to thank all those that assisted at the scene and those, including local businesses who offered a place of refuge for all those involved."

He confirmed the victims' families were being supported by specially trained family liaison officers.

A witness said the collision involved "a car hitting a pedestrian and then hitting a house".

Police are working to establish the full circumstances of what happened and have asked the public not to speculate.

The area around High Street was closed for some time, with North Wales Police urging people to avoid the area.
