Man arrested after woman dies in A55 crash

A man has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and causing serious injury by dangerous driving after a crash on a major road in north Wales.

Jennifer Anne Brown, who was in her 40s, was in a car with three other people when it was in a crash with a lorry on the A55 near Conwy on Thursday, and she was pronounced dead at the scene.

Two others were airlifted to hospitals in Stoke and Aintree with serious injuries, while a third person was taken by ambulance to Aintree.

The 57-year-old man has been released on bail while North Wales Police continue its investigations.

The force was called at about noon on 29 January to junction 17 westbound in Conwy Morfa, under the A547 overpass.

Three Wales Air Ambulance helicopters were sent, as were four ambulances and two other response units. Four off-duty paramedics helped. Firefighters also attended.

Jennifer, from Newborough, on Anglesey, worked at the island's Glan Rhos Nursing Home for more than 20 years where she was nicknamed "Queen".

Following her death, colleagues from the home she worked in said she was caring and compassionate, with a smile that could light up any room.

The home said she was not just a staff member but family.

"She first walked through the door as a shy 17-year-old and, over time, blossomed into the caring and compassionate person we all came to know and love," it said.

"Jenny touched countless lives throughout her career, always greeting everyone with a warm smile that could light up any room."
