Appeal following fatal road traffic collision on the A381 near Totnes

We are appealing for witnesses and footage following a fatal road traffic collision on the A381 in Halwell, near Totnes.

Emergency services were called just before 8pm on Tuesday 13 October following reports of a three-vehicle collision involving a black Perodua Myvi compact hatchback, a blue Skoda Kamiq and a White Hyundai i30.

Sadly, a 33-year-old local woman, who was the driver of the Perodua, died at the scene. The driver of the Skoda remains in a critical condition in hospital. Their families have been informed.
