A tractor pulling a trailer full of hay crashed in Kingsbridge earlier – blocking the A379 in both directions.

It happened near South Hams Hospital at about 6.50am on Tuesday, September 3.

Devon and Cornwall Police said: “The A379 Cookworthy Road was blocked both ways due to an overturned tractor and a shed load of hay bales.”

Kingsbridge Police said the road was "impassable" and drivers should go via Sorley Cross and "expect delays".

Insp Tracy Sharam said: "Road blocked in Kingsbridge - Plymouth Road - first day back to school too!"

The road reopened shortly after 9am.
