Swindon man in hospital after dramatic crash

A YOUNG man has been treated in hospital following a crash which caused ‘heavy chaos’ on Wiltshire’s roads.

The dramatic incident saw a white van hurled from the road, over a grass embankment and into a field, where it was spotted lying on its side.

The ambulance service received the call just before 8am, saying there had been a collision on the road.

Both police and ambulance services headed to the scene, where the driver of the Citroen Berlingo van, a man in his twenties, was assessed by paramedics.

He was taken to the Great Western Hospital, but his injuries are not believed to be serious. Another patient was treated on the scene and given the all-clear.

The accident caused a huge tailback on the busy A346 near Chiseldon.

Police described the situation as chaos as the northbound lane towards Swindon was blocked while emergency services waited for the vehicles to be removed.

But they reported the road was clear by 10.34am. The circumstances of the crash remain unclear.

But as well as a white Citroen Berlingo van, police said that a silver Ford Fiesta and blue Mercedes Sprinter were involved in the accident.
