Police appeal for witnesses after serious A30 crash

Police are appealing for witnesses and dashcam footage following a serious road traffic collision on the A30 near Zelah.

Officers from Devon and Cornwall Police were called at around 1.51pm on Wednesday 14 January to a two-vehicle collision on the westbound carriageway involving a Volvo tanker "type" lorry and a Renault car.

The driver of the Volvo tanker sustained serious injuries and was treated at the scene before being taken to hospital.

The A30 was closed in both directions for several hours while emergency services attended and investigators carried out examinations at the scene.

A police spokesperson said officers from the Roads Policing Team would like to thank the public for their patience while the road was closed.

Anyone who witnessed the collision, or who has dashcam footage that may assist the investigation, is asked to contact police via the force website or by calling 101, quoting log number 325 of 14 January.
