Devon and Cornwall Police are also appealing for witnesses after a motorcyclist suffered life threatening injuries in a crash in North Devon on Saturday afternoon.
The scene, on the A3072, at De Bath Cross, North Tawton, was closed to traffic for nine hours, following the crash, between a green Vauxhall Zafira and a Yamaha motorcycle.
The rider was airlifted to Derriford Hospital in Plymouth where he remains in a critical, but stable, condition.
