There was no-one else travelling in the car and no-one in the lorry at the time of the collision.

PC Peter Williamson, from Wiltshire Police’s Collision Investigation Unit, said: “We are investigating how this vehicle ended up colliding with this parked truck on what is a straight stretch of road in broad daylight.

“We are asking anyone who may have seen a white BMW in the area just before this incident to come forward; perhaps there was something unusual about it or the way it was being driven.

“We’d also like anyone who may have dash-cam footage of this vehicle to contact us.”

If you can help with the police investigation, contact the Collision Investigation Unit on 101.
