A car overturned at the bottom of Sandridge Hill, Melksham, at around 6pm this evening (Monday).

Police are dealing with a vehicle that has struck and mounted the central reservation on the A350 towards Junction 17 of the M4. The road is open and there are no traffic delays.

In Devizes, police say they’re responding to numerous reports of road traffic collisions in the area – including the A432 at Wedhampton and the A361 at Seend.

Several vehicles are said to have slid and crashes on ice in Westbury Road, Little Cheverall.
