Police in Swindon have closed a road in Swindon this evening after a Transit van overturned.
The occupant of the vehicle was helped from the van – which crashed on Downton Road in Penhill – but the driver fled the scene on foot immediately after he was rescued.
Two parked cars were also damaged during the collision.
The road was closed in both directions at 10pm. It’s expected to reopen before 11pm.
