A 38-YEAR-OLD man was found dead on the A5052 between Valley and Llanynghenedl on Anglesey last night.

North Wales Police say that, shortly after 11pm, they had received calls from members of the public reporting a male who was unresponsive by the roadside.

Despite the best efforts of members of the public who stopped to assist, the man was pronounced dead at the scene.

DCI Brian Kearney stated: “This is a tragic incident in which a 38-year-old male has lost his life. It is likely that this victim had been hit by an unidentified vehicle(s) which did not remain at the scene.

"I would urge the person or person(s) in any vehicle involved to come forward. If anyone has any information about this incident then please contact the police. We will treat any information received confidentially.

“I would like to thank the members of public who did stop and tried to save this person’s life.
