TWO men were seriously injured after what is believed to be a car crash in the early hours, either on or near Salisbury Plain.

Police are now appealing for more information.

This morning, August 1, at around 5.45am, officers were called to Salisbury District Hospital after two patients were admitted with serious injuries.

The patients, who are both men, are believed to have been involved in some sort of collision, but police say the circumstances are not yet clear and they have been unable to confirm details.

It is believed the alleged crash was on the south eastern part of Salisbury Plain, possibly near the Bulford area.

Sergeant Alanna Wakeford, from the Amesbury community policing team, said: “We are working hard to understand more about the circumstances which led to these two men being injured, and have already started carrying out searches of the local area.

"However, this is a large search area and we are appealing for anyone who may have seen anything suspicious, such as a potential crash site or an abandoned vehicle, to please get in touch.

“We believe the men may have been travelling in a smaller 4x4 type vehicle, possibly a Suzuki, so we are particularly keen to hear from anyone who may have seen this vehicle.”

Anyone with information can call 101, quoting log 46 of today.
