Firefighters used hydraulic cutting equipment to extricate both casualties from the car. Both were taken to hospital by land ambulance.

The road is currently closed between the Haresfield Roundabout (Highworth) and Lechlade.

A spokesperson for Wiltshire Police commented: “We would ask drivers to seek an alternative route as this road is likely to be closed through the rush hour.”
