POLICE have confirmed that a person has been left in a ‘serious condition’ following a collision in South East Cornwall this morning (Monday, June 29).

Officers were called at around 8.10am following a report that a car had crashed into a parked van on Military Road, near Kingsand, on the Rame Peninsula.

The road between Donkey Lane and Freathy was closed in both directions, along with Millbrook Road, while police, fire and ambulance crews attended the scene and treated the casualty.

As the road closures were causing delays to drivers around the area, organisers of the nearby Morval Festival at Mount Edgcumbe encouraged motorists to remain on site while the incident was ongoing.

Although the event had finished the night before, the festival site remained open with access to toilets and drinking water for those affected by the closures.

During the incident, a spokesperson from Devon and Cornwall Police said: “We were called at around 8.10am today, Monday, June 29, following a report of a collision which involved a car and a parked van on Military Road, Torpoint.

“Emergency services are at the scene. One person is reported to be in a serious condition. Local road closures have been put in place.”
