Traffic Wales has said the A55 is back open following a collision near Holywell.

Police had closed the eastbound carriageway at J32, and lane westbound as emergency teams, including the fire service, dealt with the incident.

In a statement the force said: “On the A55 eastbound, Junction 31 to Junction 32 is currently closed due to a Road Traffic Incident. Emergency Servicers are currently dealing. Please avoid the area and consider alternative routes on your travels.”
