This is Plymouth --
ONE of Cornwall's busiest roads was shut yesterday morning after a six-vehicle crash left a number of people injured.
Emergency services were summoned to the A38 near Dobwalls just before 10.30am after reports of a multi-vehicle smash.
A spokesman for Devon and Cornwall Police said an investigation was under way into the cause of the incident.
"There were six vehicles involved and a number of people injured, although none of the injuries are reported as life threatening or life changing.
"Some of the casualties were taken to Treliske (at Truro) and others were taken to Derriford (Plymouth).
"It was reported there was a lot of debris on both sides of the road and so the road was closed for safety reasons and to allow the carriageway to be cleared."
The road re-opened at about 1.30pm.
POLICE are hunting arsonists who torched a pile of plastic piping on railway sidings.
Two fire crews tackled a blaze which sent thick black smoke billowing from near a storage building in Keyham on Saturday morning.
Firefighters managed to extinguish the flames using a single hose reel at the sidings in Admiralty Street at about 6.20am.
The pipes and electrical equipment on the outside of the three metre by three metre building were damaged.
The fire was believed to have been started deliberately.
Crews from Camels Head said a fire was started in a nearby bin shortly afterwards. It was tackled by their colleagues from Greenbank.
Nearby homes were not affected and rail services were not delayed.
British Transport Police and Network Rail attended to investigate.
A PLYMOUTH pilot boat with two men on board became stranded while returning from Lerryn to Fowey.
The pair had run aground just before lunchtime on Saturday, but as the boat did not re-float on the evening tide, Fowey's lifeboat was launched bring them home.
The inshore lifeboat reached the boat quickly but had to wait for a further 35 minutes for enough water, and the three crew members then had to wade through mud to help the two men from their boat.
Their boat was then left at anchor until the tides developed enough to re-float it. Reported by This is 3 hours ago.
