A Mustang has demolished a traffic light in a crash in Swindon — near an aptly named road.

Police were called to the road traffic collision Purton Road at around 9.30am this morning (Sunday).

The incident — which saw a traffic light ripped from the ground — happened between the junctions with Thamesdown Drive, and ironically, Mustang Way.

“The incident took place at about 9.30am today (15/01).
