Drivers are being warned to take "extreme care" after snow fell across parts of Devon overnight.

Devon County Highways said they have been working "all night" to try and keep the roads passable.

In a message shared on social media, they said: "Our gangs have been working all night to keep the roads passable but drive with extreme care, avoid high roads and stick to main roads where possible."
