DEVON and Cornwall Police have confirmed that contrary to initial reports, there has been two separate incidents at Chiverton roundabout this morning.
Traffic reports stated that there was a five-vehicle incident, but that is not the case.
The first crash occurred when a vehicle crashed into a road sign.
Shortly afterwards, near the first crash, there was a two-vehicle collision.
Police were first called at 7am.
There are no reported injuries and the vehicles are currently awaiting recovery.
Lane 1 of the A30 will be closed for the recovery truck to attend.
The accidents are believed to have been caused after the vehicles lost control on black iced road conditions after a heavy hail storm.
Traffic is at a standstill as far back as the eastbound Avers junction at Redruth, with heavy traffic also on the A390 heading towards Truro.
