A lorry driver is to be prosecuted after he crashed into a Wiltshire pub.
The incident involved The Fox & Goose, on the A354 Blandford Road, in the village of Coombe Bissett, near Salisbury, on Thursday morning (7 August).
A F&S Gibbs Transport Services HGV overturned, striking the front of the pub and slipping its load of grain across the road and car park.
Speaking to Wiltshire 999s, the driver confirmed that he sustained only minor injuries which required a “fair few stitches” and was happy that “only a bit of metal is damaged”.
Wiltshire Police has since confirmed that the driver – a 27-year-old man – has been “sent a notice of intended prosecution for careless driving” by post.
The A354, and the pub, was closed for some hours while complex recovery work was undertaken. It had reopened by around 7pm.
