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.

Firefighters from Shaftesbury and Warminster attended the scene, working to free the driver for approximately one hour.

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