Road traffic collision on B4391 south of Bala

The Team was called out to assist the Welsh Ambulance Service at the scene of a Road Traffic Collision between Bala and Llangynog – the initial report had indicated that a van had plunged several hundred feet down a steep hillside following a collision with a Heavy Goods Vehicle.  NEWSAR members were still travelling when an Air Ambulance attended the incident – the driver was able to extricate himself from the van without assistance and was evacuated by helicopter to Stoke, and the Team was stood down.  We wish the driver a swift recovery.
