The Lysley Arms near Pewsham has been forced to close after a driver lost control of his car and ploughed through the entrance of the pub.

The incident occured late on Saturday night when the driver, who was travelling on the A4 towards Chippenham, left the road crashing through the outside benches and into the front porch.

The porch area was severely damaged and has since been cordoned off and the pub has closed.

A sign placed outside the entrance to the pub has cited unforeseen circumstances for its closure.

Were you in the pub at the time of the crash?
