Another incident has been reported at one of Wiltshire’s most notorious crash blackspots.
A car has been pictured after leaving the road at the A360 Black Dog Crossroads, south of Devizes.
The junction has previously been named one of the most dangerous in Wiltshire and is set for an overhaul to improve safety later this year.
This plan will include the installation of traffic lights at the site after Wiltshire Council received a funding boost last year.
With construction due to start later in 2025, campaigners fear there will be a string of crashes in the meantime.

A blue car, reportedly travelling from the Worton direction onto the A360, was recently spotted after leaving the road at the crossroads and recovery crews were called to the scene.
Michael Maxwell, who pictured the aftermath of the incident, fears crashes will continue until safety measures are introduced.
He said: “It would be a good idea if installation could commence as soon as possible otherwise there will be a string of accidents, particularly with the black ice due to the field runoff on the A360 at the crossroads.”
Black Dog Crossroads has seen multiple crashes over the last year, with emergency services called out numerous times.
