A depressing dashcam video shows motorists ignoring a horror crash – driving past while two women were fighting for their lives inside the wreckages.
Footage revealed that at least three drivers, if not more, passed a serious head-on collision on the A350 near Lacock on Tuesday morning (21 October).
It involved a private hire minibus and a SsangYong Rexton in Notton, just north of the junction for Whitehall Garden Centre.
In the moments after the incident occurred, a van overtook the smashed vehicles and two cars passed by. It’s likely several more also passed without stopping to help.

Emergency services were eventually called, and treated two women for life-threatening injuries. Though both casualties are now starting their recovery.
In an update, Wiltshire Police confirmed that the “driver of the car, a woman in her 50s, remains in intensive care but is not described as life threatening”.
Adding: “The passenger of the taxi [minibus], a woman in her 40s, sustained fractures but has been discharged from hospital.”
