Avon and Somerset Constabulary have issued the following appeal for witnesses to an accident in the Anchor Hill area of Wincanton.

“We’re appealing for witnesses following a serious two vehicle road traffic collision in Somerset over the weekend.

It happened at 5.05pm on Saturday (11th February 2017) on the A357 Anchor Hill roundabout at Holton near Wincanton.

A BMW travelling in a westerly direction on the A371 was taking the first exit on the roundabout, intending to travel south on the A357.

The driver of the BMW and driver of the Nissan were both taken to Yeovil District Hospital with minor injuries.

The road was closed for seven hours to allow collision investigators to examine the scene.

They would like to hear from anyone who was in the area of the Anchor Hill roundabout or travelling on the A357 or A371 who may have information to help our enquiries.
