A380 Northbound Shut at Penn Inn After Three-Vehicle Crash

The closure is causing severe delays into Torquay.

Overview

  • Police reported a three-vehicle collision on the A380 Newton Abbot overpass that triggered an emergency response.
  • The northbound carriageway closed at the A381 Torquay Road at Penn Inn Roundabout, blocking traffic toward Torquay.
  • Traffic monitors showed heavy queues into Torquay, and local updates urged drivers to use alternative routes.
  • Emergency services remained at the scene with no confirmed injuries or estimated time for the road to reopen.
  • The South Devon Highway links Newton Abbot and Torquay, so a Penn Inn closure can quickly clog surrounding roads and junctions.
