Overturned car causes long Sunday queues in Salisbury

An overturned car caused traffic chaos in Salisbury on Sunday when it partially blocked Castle Road.

The incident happened at around 1 pm, when a red Hyundai IX20 rolled onto its side, with traffic backed up back towards the Beehive Roundabout and on Castle Road on the city side and around the ring road.

The road was closed to traffic heading north away from the city whilst emergency services dealt with the incident that, according to reports involved three vehicles.

A Dorset and Wiltshire Fire and Rescue spokesperson said: "At 1.05 pm, two fire engines from Salisbury were mobilised by fire control to reports of a road traffic collision on Castle Road, Salisbury.
