Police are still looking to locate two more witnesses who may have seen a fatal car crash in East Budleigh last week.

Two men, one possibly wearing a cream-coloured top, were at the scene and are believed to have seen what happened, but left before police arrived.

The incident occurred at around 10pm on Wednesday 26 May when a blue Ford Fiesta with three people inside collided with a wall.

The passenger in the front seat, an 18-year-old man from North Devon, died at the scene.

One of the other occupants of the car, and 18-year-old man from Cornwall, suffered serious injuries but has now been discharged from hospital.

The third occupant, a 17-year-old boy from Devon, suffered minor injuries.

Sergeant Keith Parkinson of the Serious Collision Investigations Team said: "We are continuing to investigate the circumstances behind the collision and I'd like to thank witnesses who have come forward to help with our enquiries.

"We'd also like to hear from anyone who was in the Budleigh Hill area at the time and has dash cam or mobile phone footage."

If you have any information that could aid the police with their enquiries, email [email protected] or call 101, quoting log 982 of 26/5/21.
