A woman in her 70s has died in a two-vehicle crash on the A38 in Cornwall.
The crash happened at Landrake, near Saltash, at about 15:00 BST on Monday.
Air ambulances from Devon and Cornwall airlifted two other women to hospital in Plymouth with "serious but not life-threatening injuries", Devon and Cornwall Police said.
The woman who died was driving a grey Hyundai ix20 and the other two women were in a red Fiat 500, police said. Officers are appealing for witnesses.
The crash closed the road, one of the main routes into Cornwall, between the Carkeel and Trerulefoot roundabouts for more than seven hours.
Tailbacks of up to three miles (4.8km) were reported during the closure, which was put in place while police investigated.
Officers said the road opened again "soon after midnight".
