A teenage couple involved in an accident on the A38 last night had been on their way to a school prom.

Chloe Williams and her boyfriend Connor Savage, both 16, were heading to the Bodmin College prom at St Mellion International Resort when the Vauxhall Zafira in which they were passengers was in collision with an Audi near Landrake.

Chloe’s stepfather Dane Matthew said those involved in the crash had been lucky to escape with cuts and bruises.

’Connor suffered head injuries but had his head glued and was released from hospital straight away,’ he said.

’We are all just so glad they are all ok. They’re upset they missed the prom, but their safety is more important than anything.’
