  2. Car roll driver 'had taken wrong turning'published at 13:44 British Summer Time 9 June 2017

    BBC Radio Devon

    A driver whose car rolled into another on the A38 near Exeter was distracted because he had taken a wrong turning and was trying to correct his error, a court heard.

    Scales

    Kenton Allen, 53, of Thirlmere Gardens, Plymouth, pleaded guilty to dangerous driving when he appeared at Exeter Crown Court but insisted the accident was not caused by him using a mobile phone.

    He was the driver of a Vauxhall Corsa which crashed into another car on the middle lane of the A38 westbound just before the Splatford Split at Kennford on 20 October 2016.

    Lee Bremridge, defending, said: "It was a momentary inattention that caused the accident but he accepts the nature of the road is such that the vehicle he hit was visible for some time."

    Sentencing was adjourned until next week.

  19. Hung Parliament: What happens when no-one wins the election?published at 10:22 British Summer Time 9 June 2017

    Election 2017

    The general election has ended in a hung Parliament, meaning no party has overall majority. So what happens now?

    Will the party with the most MPs form the next government?

    Not necessarily. The party with the most MPs, when the votes have been counted in all 650 constituencies, is normally described as the winner and its leader nearly always goes on to become the next prime minister.

    But that might not happen this time with an inconclusive result. It is possible for the party that came second to form a government with the help of other parties.

    More on what happens next.
