Seven people have been injured, external in a mutli-vehicle crash on the A30 at Bodmin junction.

Three people were trapped in vehicles and a woman travelling in a car was seriously injured.

Police, the fire service, ambulance crews and two air ambulances were called at 10:30 today to the collision on the eastbound carriageway involving a Scania car transporter HGV, a van and two cars.  

The eastbound carriageway remains closed.

With tailbacks on the A30 after a four-vehicle crash which has closed the road eastbound, the AA has given advice to motorists travelling out of Cornwall. These include:

• Take a fully-charged mobile phone and in-car charger in case of emergency
• Take a sat-nav or road atlas in case of diversions
• Pack food and drink in case of long delays
• Check coolant levels, oil and tyres (pressure and condition) in the vehicle before leaving
• Make sure you’ve got enough fuel to last if you get stuck in traffic, and allow extra time

Police said the crash has caused "substantial traffic issues" in the area and drivers are being asked to avoid the area if possible.

Devon and Cornwall Police have come under fire from a coroner after an inquest into the death of a 22-year-old man who took his own life shortly after being arrested, detained and strip searched by officers.

The coroner directed a jury to find that Logan Peters, 22, from Torpoint, had been unlawfully detained and said he will write to the Chief Constable for an explanation of the events. 

The family's solicitor Fiona McGee, said sadly such events are common, but added: "What happened for Logan was that everything that could have go wrong did go wrong. He was subjected to unlawful force and the arresting officer did not appear to have a good understanding of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act."

Police are urging drivers to avoid heading east on the A30 around Bodmin after a serious crash involving four vehicles.

Officers say even though the westbound carriageway has now reopened, the tailbacks combined with bank holiday traffic are causing gridlock on roads off the A30.

Our reporter Christine Butler told me it's a major problem: "I've just come through a country lane and they're treating it as though it is actually the A30 and they're racing through at such a pace, an accident is going to happen there." 

On Sunday, Cornwall will try to retain their County Championship title by beating Cheshire.
