Mountain 4x4 owner on dangerous driving charge

A MAN has been arrested after a 4x4 vehicle was found abandoned near the top of Snowdon for the second time.

The Vauxhall Frontera was found near the visitors’ centre at the highest peak in Wales on Thursday morning. It is thought to be the same car which was left near the 3,560ft summit on 3 September.

The owner, Craig Anthony Williams, 39, from Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, was charged with dangerous driving and is due in court next week.

Witnesses have said the car found on Thursday had a sign on the windscreen which claimed it was to be auctioned in aid of mountain rescue teams.
