A VEHICLE fire which caused a stretch of the A55 on Anglesey to close yesterday is thought to have been caused by an “electrical fault”.

Lane one of the eastbound carriageway between junctions four (RAF Valley) and five (Rhosneigr) was closed overnight following the incident at about 4pm.

A North Wales Fire and Rescue Service spokesperson said: “We were called at 4pm and sent two appliances.

“The cause was believed to be an electrical fault.”

The Welsh Ambulance Service said it was not called to the incident.

Attempts have been made to contact North Wales Police for further comment.
