A30 closed: Major road in Cornwall shut after crash - with drivers warned flooding reported in area

The A30 in Cornwall is closed in both directions between the A3074 near St Erth and the A394 near Crowlas due to a collision which occurred at 07:30 this morning. National Highways says emergency services are in attendance.

Alongside this, it is also warning drivers that flooding has been reported in the area. It adds: “Weather conditions are poor within the area due to heavy rainfall and flooding has been reported in the area.”

One user on X posted a photo of one of the back roads in the area flooded. The user wrote: “My partner has just sent me this from the back roads between Hayle and St Ives, this road wasn't flooded 24 hours ago.

“The main A30 out of Hayle is closed for a separate reason (accident) but three different back road routes are flooded so he's turned back and come home.” National Highways advises drivers to take extra care when travelling.
