A woman fights for her life after a horrific crash in Shipton Moyne, just outside Malmesbury. The crash sparked a frantic police hunt for a suspect who fled the scene.
Crash Details: Woman ‘Dragged Along Road’
The smash happened around 2pm on Whitehouse Lane this Saturday. Two vehicles collided, leaving a young woman with serious injuries. Witnesses say she was “dragged along the road,” but exact details remain unclear.
Race Against Time: Three Air Ambulances Scramble to Scene
Emergency responders sent out three air ambulances – including the Wiltshire Air Ambulance, Midlands Air Ambulance, and Great Western Air Ambulance rapid response unit. The injured woman was airlifted to Southmead Hospital’s major trauma centre in Bristol, where she remains in critical condition.
Manhunt Launches as Suspect Flees
As officers arrived, reports confirmed a suspect fled the scene. The National Police Air Service helicopter joined the search, combing the skies over Shipton Moyne and nearby Easton Grey — just a mile from King Charles’ Highgrove House.
The hunt continues along the Wiltshire-Gloucestershire border. Police have yet to confirm if the suspect is caught.
Road Closures and Ongoing Investigation
Wiltshire Police’s roads unit is aiding Gloucestershire Constabulary, who are leading a forensic collision investigation. Whitehouse Lane remains closed in both directions and is expected to stay shut overnight and into Sunday morning (December 24), as the probe continues.
