Another story taken from the Herald
TWO DIE IN HORROR CRASH
A man has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving after two people died in an accident near Princetown.
A man and a woman who were on a black Yamaha motorcycle were travelling between Yelverton and Princetown just after 4pm yesterday when they collided with a green Vauxhall Vectra. >They were both pronounced dead at the scene and the 28-year-old driver of the Vectra was taken to Derriford Hospital where he was treated for minor injuries.
He was later arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and is being held at Charles Cross police station.
The man is due to be questioned about the incident today.
The man and woman are believed to have come from the Plymouth area and to have had an extended family.
Police will today continue to inform their next of kin. The man and woman will not be named until their relatives have been informed.
The crash happened at the Devil's Elbow, around a mile from Princetown on the B3212.
The road was closed for about six hours after the crash to allow police to investigate the scene.
Police are now appealing for witnesses to the crash, or for anyone who saw the motorcycle before the collision.
They are particularly keen to speak to the driver of a green Ford Focus or Ford Fiesta who they believe may have important information about the collision.
Any witnesses are asked to telephone the police on 08452 777 444 quoting log number 892 of May 20.
