A man has died after a single-vehicle collision in Honiton.

Emergency services were called to Sidmouth Road at around 7.30pm on Friday, June 21 after reports of a collision involving a silver Vauxhall Meriva.

The two passengers, a man and a woman, both in their 80s and from the local area, were taken to hospital with serious injuries.

The man has since died from the injuries he sustained. The woman’s injuries are not considered life-threatening.

Officers investigating a fatal collision are hoping to identify the driver of a light blue Mini who may have witnessed the incident.

A Devon and Cornwall Police spokesperson said: “Investigating officers are now seeking to identify the driver and occupants of a light blue coloured Mini travelling directly behind the Meriva as it is believed they could have potentially witnessed the collision and may be able to help the investigation.

“The road was closed while an investigation was carried out at the scene.

“Anyone with any relevant information or dash-cam footage which may assist the investigation is asked to contact police via our website here or by calling 101 quoting log 789 of June 21.”
