Cornwall carriageway blocked after bus fire on A30

Crews are dealing with a bus fire on a main road in Cornwall with the westbound carriageway blocked to traffic.

Firefighters from Bodmin and Launceston were called to the A30 near Bolventor at about 06:30 BST, said the Cornwall Fire and Rescue Service.

National Highways South West said the A30 westbound carriageway was closed between the A395 at Kennards House and the A389 at Bodmin.

Devon and Cornwall Police said no passengers were on the bus at the time and there were no injuries reported.

Go South West, which runs the bus, said the double decker lost power and caught fire.

A spokesperson said the bus was not in service and the driver managed to get out safely.

Traffic website Inrix warned of “slow traffic due to bus fire and oil spillage”.
