IN THE early evening of Tuesday, December 8, my wife and I were involved in a car accident on the A417 in Ampney Crucis.

A number of other drivers and local people came to help and we are particularly grateful to the gentleman from Meysey Hampton who stopped on his way home from work and allowed us to sit in his car to recover before we were taken on to Gloucester Royal Hospital for a check-up.

Our thanks to you all.
