The family of a man who tragically died at the weekend in a road accident near Loggerheads Country Park have paid tribute to him.

Gerald George Jacob was killed in a collision on the A494, near Mold on Sunday 5th March.

“Gerry, as we all knew him, loved life and lived it to the full. He was to all those who were close to him a very special, popular, fun loving and outgoing gentleman.”

66-year-old Gerry, from Llanferres outside Mold, had recently retired in December 2016 and had plans to continue his life travelling with his partner Maria.

He is survived by his son Peter, daughter Sarah and two sisters Karen and Moira to whom he was very close.

Police are continuing to appeal for witnesses to the collision, which is believed to have happened at approximately 7:30pm on Saturday 4th March.

Officers were called shortly before midday on Sunday, March 5th, when police received a report that a grey BMW car had been found in a hedge on Ruthin Road in Loggerheads.

Anybody with information that could assist the investigation is being asked to contact the Roads Policing Unit on 101 or via the live web chat quoting reference number V031092.
