A toddler has sustained life-threatening injuries in a serious crash involving three vehicles.

Four people - including two boys aged five and one - were injured after a grey Skoda Karoq collided with a white Peugeot 208 on the A303's eastbound carriageway in Amesbury, Wiltshire, police have said.

The Peugeot then spun onto the westbound carriageway, crashing head-on with a silver Volvo V70, near the Bulford junction at about 17:30 GMT on Friday.

The road was closed in both directions, but has now reopened.

A woman in her 20s was driving the Peugeot with two boys, aged five and one.

The woman suffered serious injuries and the five-year-old was also injured, but neither of them are in a life-threatening condition.

The driver of the Volvo, a man in his 70s, suffered minor injuries, police said.

Wiltshire Police is urging anybody with relevant information to contact them.
