Graphic: BriefTea
North Wales Police has changed how it handles dropped 999 calls from mountain areas after two young climbers from Norwich died on Snowdon in February. Jayden Long, 19, and Eddie Hill, 20, made a call that cut off, but mountain rescue was not alerted for over three hours. A coroner had warned that the lack of a set procedure for such calls risked future deaths.
