The driver of one of two trains involved in a train crash in Salisbury has suffered injuries believed to be life-changing.

A total of 14 people were taken to hospital and treated for minor injures. Following the crash, a carriage was initially believed to have derailed after hitting an object, and the second train then crashed into it. However, these reports have yet to be confirmed.

Supt Lisa Garrett, of BTP, confirmed that the rescue operation of the crash had now been concluded. “We have now moved out of the rescue phase of the operation and into the investigation, which will involve the trains remaining in situ for some time.”
