A cyclist taking part in a charity event has died after collapsing on the A5 near Chirk.
The 44-year-old man from Staffordshire died after collapsing at about 10.45am on Sunday.
He had been taking part in a charity cycle ride for the Douglas Macmillan Hospice.
Paramedics and the air ambulance were dispatched to the scene, but the man could not be saved.
Temporary Superintendent Nick Evans said: “Members of the public and the emergency services tried their very best to help the cyclist and I am very sad to say that their efforts were not successful.
”Our thoughts are with the gentleman’s family and friends.
”Could I please ask that any witnesses to the incident contact the North Wales Police control room on 101 and quote V065161."
