A FUNDRAISING page set up to raise money for a 28-year-old woman severely injured in a collision in Trawsfynydd has raised over £3,000.

The page, set up by family friend Eleri Griffiths to raise money for the family of Laura Thomas, had an initial fundraising goal of £1,000, but donations have flooded in and £3,685 has been raised so far.

Explaining why the fundraising page has been set up, the gofundme site says: “On Tuesday, 29 June, Laura was involved in a tragic incident which has resulted in her being treated for a severe head injury at Stoke Hospital.

“Her close family are currently by her side.

“We have created this page to try to relieve some of the financial worries from the family which includes costs such as travel, accommodation, loss of earnings etc.

“Laura is very much loved by all her friends and family, and we are all praying for her full recovery.

“We will try to keep you as updated as we can on her recovery.

“The family will appreciate any contribution. Diolch yn fawr iawn.”

Laura, who is from Trawsfynydd, was injured in the collision on the A470 near the entrance to Trawsfynydd Power Station on the evening of 29 June.

Police described her condition at the time as “critical”.

Laura was airlifted to hospital in Stoke.

Police said a man was arrested following the collision on suspicion of causing serious injuries through dangerous driving and driving whilst over the prescribed limit of alcohol, but has since been released under investigation.

A spokesperson for North Wales Police said on Thursday: “The 35-year-old man who was arrested following the road traffic collision on the A470 near Trawsfynydd on Tuesday night has been released under investigation.

“Enquiries are ongoing.

“The 28-year-old woman who was airlifted to hospital in Stoke remains in a critical condition.”

Sgt Raymond Williams from the Roads Policing Unit said he was appealing to anyone who was travelling on the road between the village of Trawsfynydd and the entrance to the power station between 8.25pm and 8.35pm, or may have dashcam footage that shows a blue 08 plate Audi A3 driving on that road prior to the collision, to contact them.

The Roads Policing Unit can be contacted via the website or by calling 101, quoting reference number 21000454559.
