The northbound carriageway was closed and diversions were put in place.

A section of the central reservation was later removed to allow a large volume of static northbound traffic to travel back to Exeter via the southbound carriageway.

All traffic was cleared by 8.10pm but the road was not reopened around 3.30am (6 December).

Officers from the Force Serious Collisions Investigation Unit have launched an investigation into the collision and are appealing for witnesses to contact them.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Exeter Serious Collisions Investigation Unit by telephoning 101, quoting log number 521 of 05/12/12
