The incident, on the westbound carriageway, isn’t blocking the road – emergency vehicles were spotted lining the hard shoulder whilst they attend the scene.

South Western Ambulance Service confirmed it sent an ambulance, an operations officer, an air ambulance and two hazardous area response teams (HART) to the location.

However, the HART teams and air ambulance were stood down on arrival.

Wiltshire Police said the incident is not blocking the M4, with one of the damaged vehicles on the hard shoulder. The other left the carriageway altogether.

The force says no one has suffered any serious injuries and all three lanes are open.
