Snowdon in a Frontera


Police are investigating why a Vauxhall Frontera was left on a footpath near to the summit of Snowdon.

It is understood that the 4x4 was driven up sometime on Saturday morning but may have become stuck on the descent about 400 yards (365m) from the 1,085m (3,560 ft)high top of the mountain.

North Wales Police confirmed they were called to the incident but currently have no more details.

Walkers passing the Vauxhall Frontera (close to the Snowdon mountain railway line) have taken photographs of the vehicle on the Llanberis side of the summit, close to the train track.

Ian Henderson of Llanberis Mountain Rescue said the emergency services or national park officers would never attempt to drive up Snowdon.
