A pedestrian died overnight
A pedestrian has died following a collision on the A38.
The road is currently closed in both directions at Chudleigh Knighton. A woman has been reported to have died and her next of kin have been informed.
Drivers, including holidaymakers, travelling through Devon today are being advised the A38 is closed in both directions south of Exeter following the serious incident overnight.
The incident happened at around 11 pm last night and requires a full police investigation with both carriageways likely to remain closed for much of this morning. The incident is being managed by Devon and Cornwall Police.
The A38 is currently closed between its junctions with the B3193 at Chudleigh and the A382 at Heathfield. A diversion is in place but drivers are being advised to avoid the area or delay journeys if possible. Signed diversions are in place in both directions between Chudleigh and Heathfield but this is not suitable for HGVs whose drivers should use alternative routes such at the A380.
Drivers planning to use the A38 are advised to check traffic conditions before setting out on journeys.
The incident is ongoing.
