A man is in hospital in a life-threatening condition after being hit by a car in Wiltshire.

He was walking in the direction of Larkhill on Countess Road, in Amesbury, on Saturday when he was struck just before 03:30 BST.

The driver stopped at the scene and called emergency services, who took the man to Salisbury District Hospital. He has since been transferred to Southampton General Hospital in a critical condition.

Wiltshire Police have appealed for any witnesses to the collision or anyone who may have dash cam footage to come forward.

The force would also like to hear from anyone who may have seen the man prior to the collision.

On-scene investigations into the collision took place on Saturday and the road has since reopened.
