A stretch of the A30 in East Devon which was earlier closed because of a coach fire has now partially reopened.

Devon and Cornwall Police reported a coach fire had closed the A30, near Fairmile, in both directions at around lunchtime, on Saturday, March 10.

The incident took place between the B3174 Exeter Road / B3180 (Daisy Mount Cross) and the A35 Exeter Road.

Ottery St Mary Police have now confirmed that one lane of the A30 Eastbound is now open. But officers have warned of ‘heavy congestion’ as the Westbound lanes remain closed.

Updates will be provided as and when we get them.
