The front of Michael’s Workwear has also been damaged – it appears the car ploughed into the building.

Forensic collision investigation work is ongoing at the scene and the road – between Great Western Way and Ferndale Road – isn’t likely to reopen until this afternoon.

Further details – including if anybody was seriously injured – are unknown at this time.

A spokesperson for Wiltshire Police said: “Cricklade Road is closed between Great Western Way and Ferndale Road following a road traffic collision.

“The closure will be on for a number of hours. The small sub access leading to Cricklade Road has also been closed.

“Please seek a different route. Thank you for your patience.”
