Four patients, one a 14-year-old boy, were taken to Salisbury District Hospital after a two car accident on the A36 between Upton Lovell and Codford St Peter this morning.
The incident happened just after 8.30am near the Hillside Café. Great Western Ambulance Service sent two double-manned ambulances, a rapid-response vehicle and an ambulance officer.
The two male occupants of one car sustained back and neck injuries during the accident. The driver of the other vehicle and her 14-year-old brother were both complaining of chest injuries as a result of being restrained by the seatbelts.
Ambulance Officer Jeff Nash said: “The two men were immobilised on spinal boards before being taken to hospital and the young female and her brother were taken to hospital for further assessment after complaining of sternum pain.
“Luckily none of the patients suffered life-threatening injuries.”
