A fly-tipper could have caused "a serious accident" when they dumped a fridge, washing machine, oven and rubber tyres on a rural road in Cornwall, a councillor has said.

The commercial waste has been dumped on a road near Tregiskey and The Lost Gardens of Heligan.
James Mustoe, the Conservative councillor for Mevagissey and St Austell Bay, said the waste had completely blocked the "narrow, rural, unlit road".

He reported the incident to Cornwall Council for clearance and asked anyone who had information about the perpetrator to contact the local authority, the Local Democracy Reporting Service said.
