Police were called after the animals were struck on the outskirts of the town
A number of goats have died after a small herd of the animals was hit on the A470. Llandudno's goats have become world famous after taking over the seaside town during the pandemic lockdowns.
They still roam the streets of the town and have become four legged celebrities for their cheeky antics. But sadly a number of the hoofed animals were struck by a vehicle on the outskirts of the town over the weekend.
The incident happened on the A470 at Wormhout Way on Sunday evening. Police and council highways teams were called to the scene.

Visitors to Llandudno, Conwy and Rhos-on-Sea could soon enjoy tuk-tuk tours. The council?s licensing committee will meet on Monday, April 15 at Conwy?s Bodlondeb HQ to discuss the proposals.
A tuk-tuk is a three-wheeled motor-assisted bicycle with passenger seats at the rear. Popular in countries such as Thailand, tuk-tuks are used as a cheap, accessible form of taxi service.
The committee will meet, debate, and draft conditions for tuk-tuks operating as private hire vehicles for short sightseeing tours in the county. An unnamed applicant is proposing to run pre-booked tours at Marine Drive, Great Orme, Llandudno; from Llandudno to the Great Orme Summit; from Llandudno to Craig y Don and Rhos on Sea; from Llandudno to Conwy quay; and from Llandudno North
