A ROAD closure at Bullington Cross is about to be lifted after a motorist died on the A303 this morning.

The driver of a Dodge Nitro 4x4 was cut free from the wreckage at about 9am today by firefighters but died at the scene. The HGV driver was described by police as uninjured but “very shocked.”

The slip road of the A303 was closed in both directions for most of the day, but police reported just before 4pm that the closures were "about to be lifted".
