A man has admitted causing death by dangerous driving after a crash in Cornwall.

Paul Kingcombe, 51, of Collin Close, Plymouth, also pleaded guilty at Truro Crown Court to three counts of causing serious injury by dangerous driving following the crash on the A388 near St Dominick on 27 December, 2022.

The court heard Paul May died and three others including two women and a man suffered serious injuries.

Judge James Adkin imposed an interim driving ban and said Kingcombe would be sentenced later this month.

He said Kingcombe should be prepared for a "long custodial sentence".
