A MAN and a woman in their 80s were believed to have suffered “serious injuries” after a crash between Yeovil and Sherborne.

The incident, which involved three vehicles, happened at around 2.50pm on Wednesday (March 18), police said, on the A30 Yeovil Road near the junction with the A352, Horsecastle Lane.

Officers said it involved a grey Mercedes E-class, a white Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van and a red Mazda 3.

The occupants of the Mazda – a man and woman in their 80s – were taken to hospital for treatment to injuries that are believed to be serious, a Dorset Police spokesperson said, with the driver of the Mercedes E-class – a man in his 70s – treated for injuries not believed to be serious.

PC James Hazell, of the Roads Policing Team, added: “Our enquiries into the circumstances of this collision remain ongoing and I am keen to hear from any witnesses who have not already spoken to police, as well as anyone who may have captured relevant dashcam footage.

“I would also like to thank motorists for their patience and understanding during the road closures, which were put in place as emergency services responded to this incident.”
