Camper whose tent was hit by car near Caernarfon dies

Anna Roselyn Evans was trapped after the car hit the tent she was staying in

A woman has died in hospital, one week after the tent she was staying in on a campsite was hit by a car.

Anna Roselyn Evans, 46, from Aberystwyth, Ceredigion, was one of four people hurt in the incident at a campsite near Caernarfon, Gwynedd.

Jake Waterhouse, 26, has admitted causing serious injury by dangerous driving and is in custody.

Another woman and two men were also hurt at Rhyd y Galen campsite in Bethel on 19 August.

They have since been released from hospital, but North Wales Police confirmed on Wednesday that Mrs Evans died in a hospital in Stoke-on-Trent.

'Amazing woman'

Ms Evans' son Richard Llew Evans, a musician, wrote a tribute to his mother on Facebook.

"Tonight I had to say goodbye to the most amazing woman I've ever known," he said.

"It was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. She was my mother, my best friend, my rock and I'm going to miss her so so much. She inspired me to do music, art and to always 'do the next interesting thing'. I know I'll do you proud.

"I love you, Mam. I hope you're dreaming of a starry night. Here's to the next interesting thing."

Aberystwyth University said Ms Evans was a much-loved member of the town's artistic community and a "valued member of the team" at Aberystwyth Arts Centre.

It said in a statement: "We are deeply saddened at the news of her untimely death and extend our sympathies to all her family at this most difficult time."

The Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales tweeted that Ms Evans was a "much respected" member of staff, adding: "Our deepest sympathies are with Anna's family."

Det Insp Andy Gibson said: "Our thoughts are with Mrs Evans's family and friends at this very sad and distressing time for them.

"The investigation into this tragic incident continues and we are liaising closely with the Crown Prosecution Service."

Magistrates in Llandudno were told last week that Waterhouse, of Hazel Walk, Partington, Greater Manchester, took "full responsibility for the devastating events".

The court heard Waterhouse had been drinking heavily and - at 02:00 BST - took a friend's car and drove around the campsite, prosecutor Gareth Parry said.

He said Waterhouse injured two occupants of one tent before crashing into a second tent, hitting both people inside.

Waterhouse also pleaded guilty to having no insurance or licence and failing to provide a breath specimen, but entered no plea to a charge of dangerous driving.

Defending, Carys Parry said: "He's truly and deeply remorseful for his actions.

"He accepts and recognises he will be facing a lengthy custodial sentence as a result of his actions. He told me 'I deserve to be punished'."

She made no application for bail and Waterhouse was remanded in custody until 23 September.

Police have released a second man under investigation while inquiries continue.
