Appeal following fatal road traffic collision on the A38 near Buckfastleigh
We are appealing for witnesses and dash-cam footage following a fatal road traffic collision on the A38 near Buckfastleigh.
Emergency services were called to the collision shortly after 9:30am on Monday 20 July.
Three vehicles were involved in the collision - a white Vauxhall van, a green DAF goods vehicle and a red Ford hatchback.
Sadly, the driver of the van – a man in his 50s from Ivybridge - died at the scene despite the efforts of emergency responders. His family have been informed.
The road remained closed for several hours due to the police investigation and complex recovery of the vehicles, and the public is thanked for their patience.
Investigators from the Devon and Cornwall Police Serious Collisions Investigation Team are keen to hear from witnesses to the collision, and those who may have seen the vehicles driving prior to the collision.
Witnesses or those with relevant dash camera footage are asked to contact the police on 101 or via our website quoting reference 50260190288.
