A CAR smashed into the central reservation of the A38 yesterday morning.

It was one of two vehicles involved in the collision near Lee Mill shortly before 10am.

The fast lane on the Cornwall-bound carriageway ended up blocked and there was debris all over the road.

Firefighters, police and ambulance crews all attended at the scene.

The drivers of the vehicles, a Ford Fiesta and a black Transporter van, were treated at the scene by paramedics.

THIEVES have made off with a trailer from an isolated location in Millbrook.

The crooks struck the property in Lower Anderton Road some time between 5pm and 8.15pm on February 13.

The trailer was built to carry up to eight canoes and has a distinctive 'scaffolding type' rack over the back.

It is a four-wheel trailer with two axles and a drop down tailgate. There is an identification number welded on the drawbar and the registration plate bore the number X448 BDV.

Anyone with information about the theft should call police on 101 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111 quoting crime reference number BT/13/95.
