Avon and Somerset Police are appealing for witnesses and information after a man suffered serious injuries in a two-vehicle collision on the A371 near Shepton Mallet.

It happened at the entrance to the Bath and West Showground, at about 6.15am on Saturday January 4.

The collision involved a blue Vauxhall Corsa travelling towards Evercreech and a white Ford Transit pulling out of the showground.

The 19-year-old man driving the Corsa suffered serious injuries and remains in hospital in a stable condition.

A police spokesman said: "Officers are keen to hear from you if you saw the collision or the manner of driving in the moments beforehand.

"Police also want you to get in touch if you have any dashcam footage which could help the investigation. If you can help, please call 101 and provide the call handler with the reference 5220002412."
