A303 Reopens After Two-Day Closure From Four-Car Crash

Emergency resurfacing addressed fuel and oil damage to the westbound carriageway.

Overview

  • National Highways reopened the A303 westbound at 9:50pm Sunday after emergency repairs linked to a four-car collision.
  • The crash between Thruxton Circuit and Salisbury Road on Saturday involved a Vauxhall Mokka, a Ford Puma, a Ford Kuga and a Volvo.
  • Police said three people were hurt, including an 82-year-old woman with potentially life-threatening injuries, a 78-year-old man with chest injuries, and a nine-year-old girl with minor injuries.
  • Spilled fuel and oil damaged the road, so crews resurfaced and re‑lined the carriageway rather than doing a simple clean‑up.
  • Emergency crews closed both directions to reach the scene, turned trapped traffic around in escorted groups to Grateley and Cholderton, and officers are still investigating.
