Two women were rushed to hospital after the A350 crashed near Chippenham

Two women were rushed to hospital after a crash on the A350 near Chippenham.

Emergency services were called to a three-vehicle road traffic collision just off the Lackham roundabout at around midday today (Monday).

The incident involved a white Toyota Aygo, a green Land Rover Freelander towing a caravan and a white Ford Focus.

Two women in the Toyota were freed from the fire engine before being rushed to the Royal United Hospital in Bath for treatment.

Information about their injuries has not been released, but their injuries are not believed to be life-changing or life-threatening.

The road – between Lackham Roundabout and Lacock – was closed in both directions for around five hours while the scene was dealt with.

The closure caused significant traffic delays for drivers on the A350 and traffic backed up on the A4 in Corsham.
