Man dies and two people injured after two-car crash

A man has died and two others are injured after a two-car crash on a major road near Bath, police have said.

Avon and Somerset Police said officers were called to the crash, involving a white Dacia and a black Range Rover, on the A46 Gloucester Road near Upper Swainswick on Saturday at about 15:06 BST.

The driver of the Dacia died in hospital hours later and two passengers, a woman and a child, remain in hospital with injuries not believed to be life-threatening.

Police said a man in his 30s was arrested on Saturday night in Wiltshire on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving, before being released on conditional bail while inquiries continue.

The A46 was closed between its junctions with London Road and the A420 for investigations, and has since reopened.

Police want anyone with information or dashcam footage of a black Range Rover travelling westbound on the M4 or southbound on the A46 on the afternoon of 11 July to contact officers.
