Petition seeks A487 road safety action after fatal crashes
- Published
A woman whose baby daughter and sister were killed when the car she was driving crashed has handed a petition to the Welsh Assembly calling for improvements to the road.
Sioned Wyn Williams' car crashed on the A487 near Gellilydan, Gwynedd in 2018.
The family of another woman who died in a crash on the same road last year also helped to organise the 5,400-name petition.
The Welsh Government has introduced a 40mph speed limit on the road.
"I don't want other families to feel how we feel," said Ms Williams.
"There's 40 [mph] signs up but... people pass them without thinking."
Ms Williams, who was also seriously injured in the incident, wants to see average speed cameras installed.
Six-month-old Mili Wyn Ginniver and Anna Williams, 22, both died instantly in the crash in January 2018 while Ms Williams was critically injured.
Fflur Green, 24, who was described as "beautiful" and "hard-working", died in another crash on the road in July.
The Welsh Government has introduced a 40mph speed limit on the road along with new safety fencing, and work to resurface the road and improve road markings is due to take place.
The Welsh Assembly Petitions Committee will now consider the petition, external.
