The full tragic toll of this morning’s horror accident on the A38 at Landrake has become clear.

Three people lost their lives in the crash, including a woman and child travelling in the same car who were pronounced dead at the scene.

A boy from the same car was airlifted to Bristol Children’s Hospital.

The third victim of the accident was a male pedestrian.

Six injured people were taken to Derriford Hospital in Plymouth what what is said to be ‘non life-threatening injuries’.

The A38 was closed in both directions for much of the day after the five-vehicle accident at around 11am.

Diversions were set up but there was widespread traffic chaos.

Police are appealing for witnesses to the accident to contact them on 101.
