Sgt Bex Price, from the Road Policing Unit, said: “Two men have sustained some very serious injuries and my thoughts are with them at this time.
“Work is ongoing to establish exactly why this collision occurred. We are aware that a large number of vehicles were present at a car meet at the location and would appeal to those people to come forward.
‘’We are especially asking any witnesses or anyone with CCTV, dashcam or mobile phone footage which could help our investigation to make contact with the police as soon as possible.”
