Is the A303 open? Road closed for several hours in Wiltshire between A36 and A360 near Salisbury is now open again
A major trunk road was closed after a “serious collision” that has left a woman fighting for her life.
The A303 in Wiltshire was closed in both directions between the A36 for Deptford and the A360 near Salisbury from 2pm on Sunday to 4am today.
