A man in his 50s has died in a two-vehicle crash on the A38 in Cornwall, police say.

Emergency services were called to the Glynn Valley at about 12:30 BST on Sunday.

Devon and Cornwall Police said the family of the man, who was travelling in a Honda Jazz car, had been informed.

Officers said a female passenger in a Nissan Navara pickup truck was taken to hospital in Plymouth and remained in a critical condition.

Three other people in the truck were taken to hospital in Truro with injuries believed to be minor, the force said.

Police, fire, and ambulance services, and a Cornwall Air Ambulance all attended the scene - between Bodmin Parkway Train Station and The Halfway House near Dobwalls.

Anyone with any relevant information or dash-cam footage has been asked to contact Devon and Cornwall Police.
