The new Wiltshire Air Ambulance was in action again today after a rugby accident this afternoon, the patient being flown to the Royal United Hospital, Bath.

It is believed that a player suffered a neck injury at Melksham.

A spokesman for the WAA Charitable Trust said: "We wish the casualty a speedy recovery. Thanks to everyone at the scene who helped."

Yesterday a 26-year-old man was flown to the Great Western Hospital after an accident between a Mitsubishi pick-up truck and a lorry at a slip road off the A417 near Cirencester in Gloucestershire.
