A grey Skoda Karoq has joined the A303 eastbound at the Amesbury Road junction and has collided with a white Peugeot 208 travelling in the same direction.

This caused the Peugeot to spin onto the westbound carriageway through the gap in the barriers for the Allington track, colliding head-on with a silver Volvo V70 travelling in the opposite direction.

The driver of the Peugeot, a woman in her 20s, suffered injuries which are serious but not thought to be life-threatening.

A passenger in the Peugeot, a one-year-old boy, suffered life-threatening injuries.

Another passenger in the Peugeot, a five-year-old boy, suffered injuries which are not thought to be life-changing.

The driver of the Volvo, a man in his 70s, reportedly suffered minor injuries.

The road was completely closed in both directions to allow for recovery.
