Police are still trying to trace two men who may have witnessed a fatal car crash in East Budleigh last week.

The pair, 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 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, an 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.
