AFTER a driver was seriously hurt in a crash earlier today, the road from Trowbridge and Yarnbrook towards Hawkeridge and the West Wilts trading estate remains closed as rush hour approaches.

The crash involved a VW Golf which was in a collision with a DAF flatbed lorry being used as a car transporter.

Firefighters from Trowbridge and Westbury, two ambulances and five police cars were at the scene soon afterwards.

The driver of the Golf is understood to have suffered serious injuries.

It is expected the road will be closed until well into the evening to allow police accident investigators to carry out their work
