An 11-year-old boy has died and a man and a teenager have been seriously injured in a collision between a car and a lorry near Stonehenge.
Wiltshire police said the crash occurred on the A303 on Saturday night, involving a black BMW and a lorry that was parked in a layby.
The boy, from London, was pronounced dead at the scene. The driver of the car, a man in his 40s, and a 15-year-old boy, both from London, sustained potentially life-changing injuries and were taken to Southampton general hospital. The driver of the lorry was uninjured.
Insp Will Ayres, of the roads policing unit, said: “This is a tragic incident where a young boy has lost his life and two more people are in a serious condition in hospital.
“Their next of kin have been informed and are being supported by specially trained officers. Our thoughts are with them at this very difficult time. I would urge anyone who witnessed anything to please get in touch with us.”
