Fire crews rescued a cyclist from a flood in Devon yesterday.

The man was stuck up to his shoulders in flowing water in Jetty Marsh Road, Newton Abbott at 3.10pm.

Fire Control mobilised two appliances from Newton Abbot and the specialist rescue teams from Camels Head and Exmouth.

Crews used a rope to pull the man to safety uninjured.

He was then assessed by ambulance crews on scene.

Travelling from Exeter Airport with the kids?

Travelling abroad with children can be a stressful experience, especially if you’re taking the kids on a long-haul flight, or if it’s their first ever flight and they are very young. Making sure that everything is organised and going smoothly is important if you’re flying with the kids in tow, however this can be a lot harder to achieve than it sounds – after all, any parent will tell you that things don’t always go to plan, no matter how hard you try.

Baxter looks for positives in defeat

Rob Baxter attempted to pick the positives out of a disappointing display from his Exeter Chiefs side as they slipped to only their second Aviva Premiership defeat of the season at Northampton Saints.

Mike Haywood’s first half try, together with a penalty from fly-half JJ Hanrahan, enabled the Saints to return to winning ways with a narrow 8-3 victory at Franklin’s Gardens. Gareth Steenson’s late penalty ensured the visitors at least grabbed a losing bonus point from their trek to the East Midlands, but that was one of only a few highlights for Baxter to reflect on at the final...

The new year has started in the best possible way for a ‘dying’ Exeter woman.

Jo Smith's health has improved dramatically since she flew to America for treatment.

The 37-year-old previously relied on a wheelchair but is now able to walk some distance unaided as this heart-warming picture shows. In another image she is seen playing outside with her five-year-old son Rudey.

Jo is believed to be the only known person in the world to suffer from a rare combination of two diseases – pulmonary hypertension and lymphatic cancer.

Less than a year ago, she was told...
