A woman has life-threatening injuries after she was hit by a motorbike and a car when she was walking on a main road at night, police say.

The 30-year-old woman from Truro was walking on the old A30 between Three Burrows and Blackwater at about 23:15 BST on Friday.

Devon and Cornwall Police said she was struck by a Yamaha motorbike and a Fiat Panda and was taken to Derriford Hospital, Plymouth.

The motorcyclist, a man in his 30s from Hayle, sustained a chest injury and was taken to Royal Cornwall Hospital, Treliske, they added.

Police said officers had carried out a detailed investigation of the scene and had asked anyone with information or dashcam footage to come forward.
