It’s believed firefighters freed at least one casualty from a dark-coloured car – by removing the vehicle’s roof – following the smash.

It’s not yet clear if anyone’s been seriously injured in the incident at this early stage.

A spokesperson for Dorset and Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service confirmed that fire crews from Chippenham and Calne are at the scene of a collision involving two vehicles.

Traffic is being diverted through Derry Hill to avoid the closure – which is in place between Old Derry Hill and Studley Lane. The road is expected to remain closed into the night.
