A taxi driver was taken to hospital after a collision involving a vehicle towing a trailer on Station Road, near Truro railway station, on Monday 7 September 2026.
Emergency services were called shortly before 9am after the collision was reported. The incident affected Station Road, where Devon and Cornwall Police said a road closure was put in place while the immediate response took place.
The collision also damaged parked vehicles, according to the police statement reported by TaxiPoint. The statement confirmed the road closure and the damage, but did not set out the circumstances that led to the crash or identify either driver.
Police said one person was taken to hospital. The statement did not confirm the extent of that person’s injuries. PHTM reported that the person taken to hospital was the taxi driver and that a passenger left the taxi safely after the collision.
Taxi and private hire operators can find booking and dispatch tools from DM Taxi Assistant.
The taxi sustained substantial damage to its front end. PHTM reported that the operator considered the cab to be written off following the incident. No assessment of the damage to the vehicle towing the trailer was provided in the available accounts.
Station Road was later reopened, police said, bringing the reported road closure to an end. The available information therefore confirms a temporary disruption near the railway station, damage to parked vehicles and one hospitalisation, but does not provide a confirmed account of responsibility.
The police account available through TaxiPoint was the source of the operational details about the closure, reopening and damage. No direct Devon and Cornwall Police news release for this incident was located in the focused search. Any later report about an investigation, enforcement action, fault or further injuries would need direct confirmation from the force.
The available reports do not identify the taxi driver, the driver of the vehicle towing the trailer or the owners of the damaged parked vehicles. They also do not state how long the closure lasted or provide further information about the passenger beyond the report that they left the taxi safely.
