Death after crash between broken down car and van
BBCA woman has died after a crash involving what is believed to be a broken down car and a van on a dual carriageway.
Wiltshire Police said the collision happened at a 08:30 BST when a Vauxhall Vivaro van collided with a Toyota Aygo on the northbound carriageway of the A419 near the White Hart roundabout in Swindon.
The force said the driver of the car, a woman in her 30s, was declared dead at the scene and her next of kin had been informed.
The van driver had no reported serious injuries and no arrests have been made, it added.
The A419 dual carriageway, which connects to junction 15 of the M4, had been closed in both directions but the southbound carriageway has since reopened.
Police said the northbound carriageway will remain closed for several hours, likely through evening rush hour, while an investigation is carried out.
The force said its thoughts were with the woman's family, who are being supported by officers at this "tragic time".
Appealing for witnesses, police asked anyone who saw the crash, or who had dashcam footage of the incident, to come forward.
