A pensioner ‘is fighting for his life’ after a crash on a busy junction in Swindon.
Emergency services were called to a two-vehicle road traffic collision on Kingshill Road at around 5.30pm on Saturday afternoon (13 June).
The incident involved a bicycle and a blue Volvo XC90 – which appeared to have minor front-end damage following the smash.
The cyclist, a man aged in his 80s, sustained serious injuries and was taken to hospital. It’s believed he was in a life-threatening condition. His next of kin has been informed.
Police cordoned off the route in both directions for around ten hours while 999 crews attended the scene and a forensic collision investigation was carried out.
At the time a spokesperson for Wiltshire Police said: “We are currently attending the scene of a road traffic collision on Kingshill Road, Swindon, in which a cyclist has been in collision with a car.
“The cyclist, a man in his 80s, has been taken to hospital to be treated for serious injuries.
