Mystery surrounds an abandoned hearse that was recovered from the A55 on Anglesey today.

Traffic officers towed the vehicle away this afternoon after it was discovered near Valley.

They said "thankfully, there were no passengers in the back."

It is not known who the hearse belongs to or why it was abandoned there.

Intiially Traffic Wales tweeted: "#A55 J1 Holyhead Eastbound - Abandoned vehicle in lane 1."

But that was later corrected to: "Vehicle has been found by J3 Valley rather than J1 Holyhead as previously stated."

Then shortly before 3pm. Traffic Wales provided another update: "Vehicle safely removed from the carriageway," after it was towed away.

And finally the Welsh Government motorway and trunk road information service revealed it was a hearse.

"It's not often we find an abandoned hearse on the#A55. Thankfully, there were no passengers in the back!"
