Tractor in accident on A30 at Exeter

A tractor was shunted from the rear on a dual carriageway in Devon this morning.

Police have said that the driver had a very lucky escape - not least because the tractor was left facing the wrong way on the carriageway, in the direct path of oncoming traffic.

A dropside lorry hit the tractor from behind on the A30 close to the M5 junction 31 at Exeter at 8.35am this morning (Friday, March 4).

An ambulance was mobilised to check the drivers, but it appears that, fortunately, they received only minor injuries in the accident.
