A road in Kingsbridge will be closed on Wednesday morning as police continue to investigate the death of a woman.

Devon and Cornwall Police said Aimee Pike, 22, died on the road at New Bridge on 23 April after an incident involving a vehicle. A man who has been charged with her murder appeared in court on Monday.

Police said the A379 Embankment Road would be closed from 09:30 BST until 12:00 to allow officers to photograph the area.

The road will be closed between the cemetery and Bowcombe Creek Bridge with diversions in place, they added.

The lane to the north of this section of the A379 will be open but officers advised motorists to drive slowly because it is narrow and to only travel if necessary.

The lanes would "be awful" for large lorries, they said.

Drivers who live in the closure area should speak to officers on the scene to allow them leave and return, police added.
