Written by on 27/10/2018

Three teenagers were killed when two vehicles collided on the outskirts of Denbigh in Wales.

The victims were involved in a crash between a Vauxhall Corsa and Vauxhall Antara just before 7.30pm on Friday.

John Michael Jones, 18, and Leon Rice, 17, both from Ruthin, Denbighshire, and Colin Hornsby, 17, from Droylsden, Greater Manchester, who were in the Corsa, all died at the scene.

The driver and passenger of the Vauxhall Antara both remain at Ysbyty Glan Clwyd.

The 66-year-old male driver has suffered minor injuries and the 68-year-old female passenger has suffered serious injuries, North Wales Police said.

Local media said the crash happened on Ffordd y Graig, near a Denbigh cattery.

Superintendent Jane Banham of North Wales Police said: “This is a tragic incident in which sadly three people have lost their lives and our thoughts remain with their families at this difficult time.

“All three families are now being supported by specially-trained family liaison officers.

“Enquiries in relation to this incident are ongoing and our officers are keen to hear from anyone who witnessed the collision or anyone who believes they have any dashcam footage of the incident itself or footage of the vehicles in the moments leading up to the incident.

“I would like to thank those members of the public who assisted at the scene, and equally I would like to thank all emergency services staff who were faced with a difficult scene.”

The road was reopened just after 3am.
