A Trowbridge man was taken to the Royal United Hospital, in Bath, with facial injuries on Tuesday afternoon, after his Peugeot 106 collided with a jack-knifed lorry.

The seven-and-a-half ton Mitsubishi lorry, from Cheltenham, skidded on the wet roads close to Stoney Gutter crossroads.

Officers believe the lorry was driving towards Westbury when it lost control and jack-knifed into the opposite carriageway, hitting the Peugeot as it travelled towards Melksham.
