Two people left seriously injured after suspected road traffic collision

Monday, 1 August 2022 01:00

Wiltshire Police are appealing for the public’s help after two people were seriously injured following a potential road traffic collision in or around Salisbury Plain.

Police were called by Salisbury District Hospital at around 5.45am this morning (1st August 2022) after two patients were admitted with serious injuries.

The patients, who are both men, are believed to have been involved in some sort of collision, but the circumstances are not yet clear and police have been unable to confirm the details.

A Wiltshire Police spokesperson said, "We believe the collision is likely to have occurred somewhere on the south eastern part of Salisbury Plain, possibly near the Bulford area."

Sergeant Alanna Wakeford, from the Amesbury Community Policing Team, added, “We are working hard to understand more about the circumstances which led to these two men being injured, and have already started carrying out searches of the local area.

“However, this is a large search area and we are appealing for anyone who may have seen anything suspicious, such as a potential crash site or an abandoned vehicle, to please get in touch.

“We believe the men may have been travelling in a smaller 4x4 type vehicle, possibly a Suzuki, so we are particularly keen to hear from anyone who may have seen this vehicle.”

Anyone with information should call 101, quoting log 46 of today (1st August 2022).
