Emergency service crews are in attendance at the scene of an incident involving a car at a Christmas market.

The South Western Ambulance Service received a call at 11:58 GMT on Sunday regarding the incident in Chipping Sodbury, near Bristol.

A spokesperson said five ambulances, an air ambulance, and several other resources were dispatched to the scene.

The BBC understands nobody has suffered either life-threatening or life-changing injuries in the incident.

In a statement posted to Facebook, the organisers confirmed the event was still continuing.

They said: “We have been advised by the police not to cancel today’s event, so the remainder of the High Street from Hobbs House Bakery down towards Broad Street and Horse Street is still open.

“We would ask anyone attending today to please not take photos of the incident, and not speculate on social media as we work the emergency services to help those people who need assistance.”
