THREE separate incidents on the A30 at Kennards House have closed one lane of the Eastbound carriageway, with the whole carriageway to be closed shortly.

The incidents are understood to have occurred on roughly the same stretch of road — one of the incidents involved a lorry, which overturned.

Police said the carriageway is due to be closed from 6pm to 8pm this evening to allow full recovery of the lorry. They advise motorists to avoid the area.

Fire crews assisted in removing the casualty from the lorry, who was left in the care of the ambulance service.
