Motorists had already been warned of icy driving conditions across the North Wales network with the mercury dropping to zero, freezing many roads.

The chaos started with a three-vehicle smash on the A55, shortly before 4pm on Wednesday, when three vehicles crashed, shutting the westbound carriageway between Llanfairpwll and Gaerwen, causing major delays.

There was also a temporary junction closure in place while the vehicles were recovered. Nobody was seriously injured. The carriageway was still closed at 9.20pm, with a lane on the eastbound carriageway also shut.
