Police are hunting a hit-and-run van driver who sped off after smashing into a car containing three young men on Monday.

The Transit-style van drove off after it was in a collision with a Volkswagen Lupo after coming off the A38 slip road at Chudleigh Knighton.

The small car containing the three men, from the Chudleigh area, was travelling towards Bovey Tracey when the van, which had come off the dual carriageway, hit it head-on.

None of the teenagers was seriously hurt but they needed hospital treatment for whiplash injuries and shock.
