UPDATE: Minibus driver dies after collapsing at wheel in central Swindon
A minibus driver ‘in cardiac arrest’ has crashed outside Swindon railway station.
Emergency services were called to the serious medical incident in Station Road at around 8am this morning (Monday).
An Akcess bus appears to have collided with a bus stop after the driver reportedly collapsed into cardiac arrest at the wheel of the vehicle.
Great Western Air Ambulance Charity critical care medics are on scene alongside two ambulance crews, a fire crew and numerous police officers.
The area has been taped off as 999 crews worked – with the road partially blocked, causing significant traffic delays during rush hour.
