Motorcycle clip a web first for North Wales Newspapers

By Press Gazette

Four North Wales Newspapers titles have carried video footage on their websites for the first time.

The group used the web to publish footage of two "lunatic" motorcyclists riding erratically at 100 miles per hour along the main arterial highway along the North Wales coast.

The video, in which North Wales chief constable Richard Brunstrom describes the motorists as "crazy", and says the video remind him of an episode of The Wacky Races, was used on the websites of the North Wales Pioneer, North Wales Chronicle, Rhyl Journal and Denbighshire Free Press.

North Wales Newspapers publishing director Graham Breeze said: "We are developing our sites and were actively looking for the right material to launch video streaming."

"The antics of speeding motorcyclists through our publishing area is of concern to all our readers, particularly with the number of fatalities on our roads this summer."
