THE driver of a lorry involved in a crash on Great Western Way remains in a coma in hospital, police have confirmed.

The incident happened shortly after 4am heading into Swindon between the Blagrove and Mannington roundabouts on Wednesday, April 5.

It resulted in a UK Mail delivery truck’s cab being crushed up against the rear right hand corner of an Iceland delivery lorry’s trailer.

The cause of the crash is not yet known but the police have confirmed that the Iceland lorry appears to have been stationary at the time of the incident.

Today Wiltshire Police confirmed that the driver of the Iceland lorry remained in hospital in a coma.

Information provided to The Advertiser in the aftermath of the incident last week from Wiltshire Police outlined that it was the driver of the UK Mail lorry who had sustained life threatening injuries.

However it has been confirmed today by the police that he sustained minor injuries and it is in fact the driver of the Iceland lorry who remains in hospital in a coma.

The Swindon Advertiser apologises for any confusion caused.

PC Andy Lee, of Wiltshire Police, said: "We are still investigating what happened, however I would like to speak to anyone who may have heard or seen this collision or anything suspicious, in connection with this, at this time this morning.

"If you can help in anyway please contact the Roads Policing Unit."

Anyone with any information is asked to contact the force on the non-emergency 101 number, or call CrimeStoppers on 0800 555111 where information can be left anonymously.
