Lucky caravanners avoid injury due to caravan and car fire

A car and a caravan burst into flames on Thursday whilst travelling on the A55 in Anglesey.

Fire services responded to calls made by people at the scene concerning the incident and attended the scene to disperse the flames. According to a fire services spokesperson, both the car towing the caravan and the caravan itself were still burning upon their arrival and was contained shortly afterwards.

The fire was eventually extinguished and drives were warned to expect delays.

Drivers were subsequently diverted at junction 5 and the slip road was closed.

Aaron Roberts, a Daily Post reader said: “Just passed Llangefni turn off on the A55 Anglesey and captured a picture of a caravan on fire. Large amount of emergency services passed us on the way there. The car was travelling westbound towards holyhead.”

We here at CaravanTimes are pleased no one was injured as a result of the fire.
