Two separate crashes on the same stretch of road outside Newton Poppleford left two cars on their sides on Saturday (April 9).

The smash, which involved a Mercedes Estate, Vauxhall Zafira, Ford Fiesta and a Land Rover estate, left the Exeter Road completely blocked after the incident that happened just after 5.30pm.

Fire crews cleared the road and managed to get one lane open quickly before completely reopening the stretch at about 7.30pm.

No one was injured.
