A 29-year-old man and a four-year-old girl were taken to hospital after the car they were travelling in came off a Trowbridge road at a slippery bend.

Police and fire crews were called out at about 2.28pm on Tuesday to the scene of the accident on the notorious bend along Ashton Road between Stoney Gutter and Paxcroft.

The man, who is from Trowbridge, was driving a silver Ford Focus when it left the road shortly after a heavy downpour.

PC Mark Wallace, from the Road Policing Unit, said: "It was a wet road and the driver lost control. He has gone across the road and the car has spun and flipped - landing on its roof in a ditch.

"The driver was a 29-year-old man from Trowbridge and there was one rear passenger, a four-year-old girl. They were both taken to hospital for precautionary measures."

The accident was cleared by 3.15pm.
