A Pwllheli man killed in a two-vehicle crash on the A499 has been named.

Elis Ogilvy-Bardsley was driving a black Ford Fiesta when it collided with a red Audi A3 near Y Ffôr at around 10.10pm on Saturday night.

The 20 year-old was pronounced dead at the scene and three people were taken to hospital with serious injuries.

In a tribute, Elis' family described him as "a caring and considerate son, brother, grandson, nephew and cousin."

They added: "We will miss watching him laugh, joke and play with his younger siblings who looked up to him and loved the time they spent together having fun."

"He enjoyed spending time with his friends, travelling and supporting the Wales and Man United football teams."

Elis, who lived with his parents, younger sister and brother, worked in a local Asda supermarket and had been accepted to Bangor University, where he was preparing to study Media.

His family said: "We will forever miss how he lit up every room, how people would gravitate toward him and that he was always the life and soul of the party."

"We are heartbroken that Elis has been tragically taken from us. Our lives have been changed forever as a family. We ask that our privacy is respected as we come to terms with our loss."

North Wales Police said officers were contnuing to support his family.

Meanwhile, an investigation is continuing into the crash which led to two people being airlifted to the Royal Stoke Ambulance Hospital while a third was taken by ambulance to hospital.

Emergency services, including the Wales Air Ambulance and the Coastguard helicopter from Caernarfon, attended the scene which remained closed overnight.

Anyone with information about the collision should contact North Wales Police on 101 or via the live web chat, quoting reference no. 26000247901.
