A driver was trapped in their car after ‘crashing head-on into a lorry’.
Emergency services were called to the A303 at Chicklade at around 2pm today (Monday).
The road traffic collision involved an orange Skoda and a DAF heavy goods vehicle.

They are not believed to have sustained life-changing or life-threatening injuries, but were taken to hospital for urgent treatment.
