An investigation is underway following a fatal collision in Somerset yesterday (Friday 24 March).

Emergency services were called shortly before 3.55pm to the A358 after a two-vehicle collision near Thornfalcon. It involved a black Vauxhall Corsa – which is believed to have travelled from Taunton – and a blue Renault Megane, which was heading in the opposite direction.

A man and a woman who were occupants in the Corsa were sadly pronounced deceased at the scene. Their next of kin have been informed.

The male driver of the Renault sustained serious injuries and is currently in hospital.

The road was shut for a number of hours but reopened overnight.
