THE Met Office has issued a warning for Sidmouth and its surrounding areas to expect heavy snow this week.
Temperatures dropped to as low as -3c last night causing frosty conditions on the roads.
The A3052 between the B3176 and Woolbrook Road has been closed both ways since yesterday evening (Sunday) due to hazardous road conditions.
Before the icy road closed, a car overturned at around 8pm yesterday near the Bowd Inn.
The man who was driving a green Peugeot 206 was taken to Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital.
A spokesman for Devon County Highways said the Highways team is waiting for some equipment before a culvert, which is causing the problem, is cleared.
