Snow and ice causes issues on A30 as crash on A38 sees one person taken to hospital

Icy conditions have caused disruption on the roads this morning across the West Country.

The A30 at Bodmin had to be closed eastbound after freezing overnight temperatures have led to a build-up of snow and ice on the road, making it too dangerous to use. Lorries have reportedly been struggling to make progress on uphill sections.

Officers from Devon and Cornwall Police have now acted, closing the road from Launceston to Bodmin.

The A38 at Dobwalls is blocked in both directions - there has been an accident between Twelve roads Roundabout and the B3254.

A police spokesperson said: "Police received a report at around 6.20am this morning that around three vehicles had skidded off the road, with at least one car colliding into another, at the roundabout on the A38 near Dobwalls, Liskeard.

"The Highways authority was informed. One person was taken to hospital for assessment for what are believed to be minor injuries.

"Drivers are advised to avoid the area while recovery of the vehicles is carried out.

"Motorists are reminded to slow down and drive with caution in adverse weather conditions."
