A man has passed on after he was hit by a rescue vehicle while heading to a 999 bring in South Devon.
It happened soon after 4am today (17 July) on the A380 close to Kingskerswell.

They are asking individuals not to "theorize about the reason".
A representative for the rescue vehicle trust said: "In the early long periods of Saturday, July 17, an emergency vehicle was engaged with an impact with a passerby on the A380.
"The passerby was treated on scene and a Tasks Official, Risky Region Reaction Group (HART) and a subsequent rescue vehicle were dispatched and in participation before the patient was passed on to clinic.
"Our contemplations are with every one of those influenced by this episode."
A mysterious driver who saw the accident said: "A rescue vehicle hit a passerby.
"I was driving around three vehicles behind. It occurred at around 4am.
"I wasn't sure where the person on foot came from, I just saw the rescue vehicle stop and somebody leap out and begin doing what resembled CPR.
"It in a real sense occurred around a large portion of a mile from the Penn Motel intersection.
"The emergency vehicle was essentially harmed from what I could see.
"I feel frustrated about the emergency vehicle group and all interested parties."
