Two women suffer serious injuries in head-on crash

Police are appealing for witnesses who were on the A303, just west of Winterbourne Stoke

Two women have been left with serious injuries from a head-on collision between two vehicles on the A303.

Wiltshire Police said a blue Citroen C5 crashed with a grey Hyundai Kona just west of Winterbourne Stoke, near Scotland Lodge Farm, shortly after 12.00 BST.

The driver of the Citroen, a woman in her 70s, has been taken to hospital with life-changing leg injuries and a woman in her 60s, who was a passenger in the Hyandai, sustained life-threatening injuries, officers said.

Police said they were appealing for witnesses travelling in the area who may be able to help with the investigation.

The road remains closed in both directions between Longbarrow roundabout and the A36 junction while an investigation is carried out by Wiltshire Police's Serious Collision Investigation Team (SCIT).

The driver of the Hyundai, a man in his 60s, was also taken to hospital with reportedly minor injuries, officers said.

Any witnesses or anyone who may have dashcam footage has been asked to contact the force's SCIT.
