Reports from the police say a blue Ford Focus and a light blue Honda Jazz came to rest on their roofs in lane one of the A38.

Fire crews from Ashburton, Buckfastleigh and Newton Abbot arrived to find all occupants of the cars were clear from the vehicles so crews made the scene safe and rendered first aid.
