AN ambulance was involved in a two-car crash as it was responding to an emergency call following a stabbing in Warminster.

A Renault Cleo and an ambulance from Great Western Ambulance Service crashed at the West Ashton crossroads near Trowbridge on Sunday at about 3am.

A second ambulance was called to the scene to attend to a woman from Corsham who was travelling in the Cleo. No one was seriously injured.

A recovery vehicle was needed to remove the ambulance because it was stuck in the middle of the road between traffic lights.

The ambulance involved in the collision had been on its way to Warminster after a man was allegedly stabbed with a knife.

Local police were called to the address in the Boreham area of Warminster at about 2.45am following reports of a fight between a man and a woman. The man, who has not been named, received a stab wound to the upper arm.

He was taken to Salisbury District Hospital for treatment and was later released and taken into custody.

Both the man and woman were arrested and released pending further police inquiries.
