Both were in a Subaru Impreza in collision with a Mercedes at Beambridge, near Hungerford, at around 1.45pm on Tuesday.

The occupants of the Mercedes, a man and woman both in their 50s, were taken to Telford's Princess Royal Hospital. The man was treated for slight injuries and the woman, bel-ieved to be his wife, was detain-ed with a fractured sternum.
