Two Peugeots, one black and the other red, were involved in the crash by the entrance to 29 Regiment just before 1.30pm this afternoon.

A passenger in the black Peugeot, who is thought to be a soldier stationed at the base, has been injured and is awaiting the arrival of Great Western Air Ambulance.
