TRIBUTES have been paid to the man who died in Wednesday's fatal Talybont collision on the A55.

Paul Jones was 40-years-old and came from the Penmaenmawr area.

His family have issued the following tribute to him:

“The family of Paul Jones have described him as a very thoughtful, kind, generous and funny individual.

“It goes without saying that Paul’s family are devastated by his sudden loss and will be missed by all.

“Paul’s family have requested that their privacy is respected at this extremely difficult time.”

Police continue to appeal for witnesses to the collision which happened shortly after 9:30pm on the eastbound carriageway between Llanfairfechan and Talybont, whereby a Nissan car, which was travelling in the wrong direction, collided with a black Hyundai being driven by Mr Jones.

“I’d like to thank everybody who has come forward so far to assist with our investigation. We have been inundated with calls and the investigation team are in the process of contacting all those who have come forward.

“We continue to appeal for any witnesses, or to anybody who may have dash cam footage of the incident to contact us.”
