A woman has died after being critically injured last week when a car was driven into tents on a campsite in north Wales.

Four campers were injured when the vehicle was driven on the Rhyd y Galen site near Bethel, Caernarfon, in the early hours of Monday 19 August.

Anna Roselyn Evans, 46, from the Aberystwyth area, was left fighting for her life in hospital. On Wednesday, North Wales police said she had died in hospital in Stoke.

DI Andy Gibson said: “Our thoughts are with Mrs Evans’ family and friends at this very sad and distressing time for them.

“The investigation into this tragic incident continues and we are liaising closely with the Crown Prosecution Service.”

Evans’s employers, the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales, tweeted: “It is with great sadness we have learned that Anna Evans, a much-respected member of our staff at the Royal Commission, died yesterday in hospital following an incident at a campsite near Caernarfon last week.

“Our deepest sympathies are with Anna’s family.”

The three other people injured, two men and a woman, were discharged from hospital later on 19 August.

Jake Waterhouse, 26, from Partington, Manchester, has already appeared in court charged with causing serious injury by dangerous driving, dangerous driving, driving otherwise in accordance with a driving licence, driving with no insurance and failing to provide a breath specimen for analysis.

He was remanded in custody by Llandudno magistrates and is due to appear at Caernarfon crown court next month.
