Highworth residents were left in shock as a newly licensed driver, with just three weeks of driving experience, crashed their car side-on into a tree on the B4000 Shrivenham Road earlier today. The incident prompted an immediate response from emergency services and serves as a grim reminder of the importance of road safety.
The collision occurred around 5 pm this Friday, leading to a rapid deployment of several fire crews to the scene. Their task was to extricate two individuals who were trapped within the mangled wreckage of the vehicle.
