FOUR people had to be cut from the wreckage of their car and taken to hospital following a head-on crash.
The quartet, two men and two women, were travelling in a Citroen Saxo when it was in collision with a Volkswagen Golf on the A379 between Yealmpton and Modbury, near the Ermington turn off.

The collision happened at about 7.40pm on New Year's Eve.
"We had to remove the Saxo's roof," said watch manager Simon Wilson, at Ivybridge fire station.
"It took about 15 to 20 minutes.
"One lady, in the front, was removed quite quickly. Two were more injured than the other two."
He added: "It happened in quite an open road, the junction where you can turn from Ermington, a single carriageway."
A South West Ambulance Service spokesman confirmed that four people had been taken to Derriford Hospital.
