A lorry driver failed to stop after hitting a tree – which then fell onto a car.

Police were called the road traffic collision on the A345, near Rushall, yesterday (Wednesday).

At around 12.55pm, the lorry – a HGV – hit a tree at the side of the road, causing it to fall over.

In doing so, the tree struck a car and caused damage. Despite this, the driver of the lorry continued driving away from the incident.

A spokesperson for Wiltshire Police said: “Luckily, no one was injured but the road was partially blocked for around 1.5 hours while the debris was cleared.

“If you saw what happened, or have dash cam footage of the incident please contact us on 101 quoting reference number 54230117939.”
