Emergency services were called to the A36 Warminster Road near Claverton at approximately 9.15pm on Saturday evening, 15th April, shortly after the crash.

Seven people were injured, some of which required hospital treatment, including a man and a woman who sustained serious injuries.

The Wiltshire Air Ambulance took a patient to Southmead Hospital, a major trauma centre in Bristol, at around 11pm.

An update from Avon & Somerset Police this afternoon, Sunday 16th April, said that a woman had died following the crash, and at least two people were still in hospital.

The woman’s family have been informed and are being supported by a specially-trained officer.

The vehicles involved were a white Ford Puma, a blue BMW and two Ford Fiestas, one grey and the other blue.

The road was shut in both directions overnight but the closure was lifted at about 10am this morning.

The police carried out enquiries at the scene, and are now asking any witnesses who have not yet spoken with them, or any drivers in the area at the time who may have relevant dashcam footage, to call 101 and quote reference number 5223087300.
