A pensioner was taken to hospital with a head injury following an incident at a Wiltshire junction labelled a crash blackspot.

Emergency services were called to Black Dog Crossroads at around 9am on Thursday, August 29, after two vehicles were involved in a collision.

The junction with the A360 between Worton and Market Lavington has previously been ranked as one of Wiltshire’s most dangerous and is set for a safety overhaul including the installation of traffic lights.

One woman in her 70s was subsequently taken to hospital with a head injury that is believed to be minor.

A spokesperson for the force said: “We responded to reports of a road traffic collision involving two vehicles on the A360 at the Black Dog Crossroads near Devizes.

“A woman in her 70s was taken to hospital with a minor head injury.

“No arrests were made.”
