Emergency services rushed to reports of the single-vehicle road traffic collision near Highworth at 9.30pm yesterday (Wednesday 29 March).

Two fire engines from Stratton (Swindon) were sent to the scene after they were told that a casualty was trapped inside, whilst another had managed to self-extricate.

Firefighters used small tools to remove “cut back heavy bushes surrounding the vehicle to assist a second casualty out”, a spokesperson for Dorset and Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service said.

Wiltshire Police arrested the woman driver, aged in her 40s, on suspicion of drink driving.
