A vehicle smashed into a wall which collapsed and caused traffic problems for five hours.

Emergency services were called to the collision on the A541 Wrexham Road at Cefn-y-Bedd in Flintshire at around 6.30am.

The force of the crash saw a section of a wall in front of a house collapse and fall into the road.

Council workers attended the scene to clear the bricks and debris from the road.

Steve Jones, Flintshire county council’s chief officer for streetscene and transportation, said: "The authority is aware that a private residence wall had collapsed this morning at approximately 6.30am following a road traffic incident near the Hollybush Pub on A541 at Cefn-y-Bedd, Wrexham Road.

"The police initially coordinated traffic movements whilst operatives from the council attended site to clear the carriageway of obstruction. The road was free from obstruction from approximately 11.30am this morning, and fully reopened to traffic.”
