A man has suffered life-threatening injuries after an aircraft crashed in Wiltshire.

Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance landed at the incident, as a plethora of other 999 crews also raced to the scene.

A 71-year-old man sustained life-threatening injuries and was airlifted to the Major Trauma Centre at Southampton General Hospital.

“An investigation will be carried out into what happened by the Air Accident Investigation Team”, a spokesperson for Wiltshire Police said.
