Heartbreaking news from Gwynedd as we say goodbye to Geraint Jones, a cherished husband, father, and grandfather. Geraint, 64, tragically passed away after being hit by a van on the A487 near Bontnewydd. Despite the efforts of emergency services, he was sadly pronounced dead at the scene.
The incident led to the Caernarfon bypass being closed in both directions on Sunday night as emergency services responded. North Wales Police have named him as the pedestrian involved in this devastating event.
His family, reeling from the sudden loss, expressed their immense gratitude to emergency services and the public for their support during this difficult time. Geraint is survived by his wife Mary, sons Richard and Patrick, and grandchildren Ella, Leo, and Isaac.
In their own words, the family shared: “We are absolutely devastated at the loss of a beloved husband, father, and grandfather. We deeply appreciate all the kind messages of love and support we’ve received.”
Sergeant Katie Davies of the Roads Policing Unit echoes the sympathy we all feel, extending her deepest condolences to the family. She urges anyone who may have witnessed the collision or possesses dashcam footage to reach out. If you were in the area around 8:30 pm and saw a man walking along the A487, your information could be vital.
Let’s come together to support the Jones family and assist the police in any way we can. If you have any information, please contact North Wales Police by quoting reference C174462. Your help can make a difference.
Sending love and strength to all who knew and loved Geraint. 💔
