The road between Helston and Hayle where a coach crashed on Tuesday night, killing two women and injuring 46 other people, is closed again this morning.

Godolphin Bridge at Townshend was the place at which the Williams Travel coach, carrying 48 people from Camborne on their way back from seeing the Christmas lights at Mousehole, hit sheet of ice and rolled onto its side into a ditch.

Last night police named the two women killed in the crash as 78-year-old Irene Spencer and 70-year-old Patricia Pryor, both from Camborne.

This morning police have closed the road again, so that more investigation work can be carried out into the crash.
