Road closed to traffic due to partial house collapse

A road has been closed after the front of a terraced house near Swindon partially collapsed.

Dorset and Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service were called to the A361 Lechlade Road in Highworth at 21:47 BST on Thursday and the crew found all the occupants of the house were safely outside.

A spokesman for the service said gas engineers also attended to completely isolate the supply from the road.

It is not yet known when the road will be opened.
