A road in Devon has been closed indefinitely after it collapsed due to heavy rain.

Cracks began to appear in Old Beer Road in Seaton last Wednesday, and within two days the entire road had vanished down the hillside.

The road, which leads down to the coast, has been closed indefinitely by Devon County Council while officials assess how much more of the road could potentially collapse.
