Delays due to collision at Sandygate Roundabout

Update: The lane is reportedly now open again, however traffic is still busy.

One lane is closed on the A376 Sidmouth Road Westbound at the Sandygate Roundabout because of an earlier accident involving a lorry and a black Honda CRV car. 

Firefighters were called to the scene just before 2pm to remove the roof of the Honda in order to free one person still in the car, who although not physically trapped, had suspected neck and back injuries. 

The crews carried out a controlled removal of the casualty using hydraulic rescue equipment and small tools and made the vehicles safe. Fast road coning was also used.
