Two seriously hurt

Two people have serious, but not life-threatening injuries, following a crash on the North Devon Link Road on Wednesday evening.

Police are now appealing for information about the incident, which involved three vehicles, one of which left the road. Two air ambulances were needed to take the badly hurt pair to hospital.

The crash on the A361 at Higher Beer, South Molton, involved a white Kia Sportage, a black Vauxhall Insignia and a blue Ford Fiesta.

The road was closed for around four hours for an investigation and for the vehicles to be recovered.
