A one-year-old girl has died after a crash on a campsite in North Wales, police have said.

Emergency services were called to reports of a collision involving the child and a vehicle at the Bryn Gloch caravan and campsite in Betws Garmon, near Caernarfon, at 10.20am on Monday, a spokesman for North Wales Police said.

The force said the girl was taken to Alder Hey Children’s Hospital in Liverpool by Air Ambulance but died in the afternoon.

Sergeant Simon Hughes, of the roads crime unit, said: “Our profound sympathies remain with the girl’s family at this extremely difficult time.

“They will now be supported by a specially-trained family liaison officer.

“The investigation to establish the cause of the collision is well under way and I would like to thank all those who assisted on the site today.”
