Drivers heading to Porthleven via the Penzance Road have been redirected following an incident this morning (Saturday).

On the second day of the popular Porthleven Food Festival, police were called to reports of a van on its roof on the A394 at around 6am this morning.

The road was closed while emergency services worked to clear the scene.

According to Devon and Cornwall Police, no serious injuries were sustained by the van driver and said that the road should be open "fairly soon".
