The A390 in Cornwall is closed in both directions today (Wednesday 19 April) following a "serious" crash.

Police are currently on the scene between Merrymeet and St Ive. A spokesperson for the force said:

"The incident was reported shortly before midnight last night and the road remains closed whilst we are in attendance.

"Drivers are urged to avoid the area and use alternative routes today as the road is likely to remain closed for the majority of the day.

"We will provide further information when we are able to."

Traffic monitoring website Inrix says: "A390 in both directions closed due to accident investigation work between Pengover Turnoff (Liskeard) and A390 (Butchers Arms Junction, St Ive). Traffic is coping well.

"Investigations are ongoing with the road looking to be closed for most of the day."
