A CRASH reportedly blocked the road on a diversion route being used by drivers to get around the closed A39 at Perranarworthal this afternoon.

The main road between Truro and Falmouth was shut for much of the day after a large tree came down between the Norway Inn and the roundabout at Devoran.

Old Carnon Hill was then blocked this afternoon, with very slow traffic due to a crash near Morgan Masonry.

The route was being used by drivers to get around the blocked A39.

Recovery was called to the scene and the road has now been cleared.
