Two pensioners were killed when their car collided with a truck on the A36 in Wiltshire.

A 75-year-old female Ford Focus driver and her 84-year-old male passenger died at the scene at Upton Lovell, near Warminster, on Tuesday.

A 56-year-old man from Melksham, who was driving a tipper truck, suffered minor injuries in the collision.
