The female driver of one of the vehicles, an 81-year-old from Essex, died following the collision. Her husband remains in a ‘serious’ condition at the Royal Cornwall Hospital at Treliske.

    “Am I correct in believing there are a high number of serious crashes on this stretch of road? If so, maybe the police investigators should be looking at the road layout rather than always trying to find someone to prosecute in order to tick the right boxes.”

    “A single lane stretch of carriageway where people think they can overtake but it is highly dangerous.”

    “Just a minor point, the given location is wrong. The accident was not at Loggans Moor but on the Hayle Bypass, between the Wheal Alfred Road and Strawberry Lane bridges, close to Hayle Football Club.”
