A road near Lyneham, Wiltshire in England has seen a section of the B4069 road ripped up and twisted from an as of yet unknown cause.

There are sections of the warped road that are at 45 degree angles and many parts of the tarmac has snapped in half.

The exact cause is being investigated, but right now the leading cause thought to be behind the damaged road is underground movement, possibly a land slide.

Wiltshire council have said that the road has been closed since the 17th of February. But for some reason, some drivers continue to try and access the damaged road.

The council are waiting on a report from geotechnical specialists. A member of Wiltshire council, Dr. Mark McClelland said, "It could costs hundreds of thousands or up into the millions".

"There is significant damage to the road. It could be up to 12 months in total. It's not something that can be resolved in a matter of days or weeks."

Dr. McClelland went on to say, "The underlying ground has slipped and we need to understand why that has happened.", concluding with, "The police have been very clear that it's very dangerous for motorists to ignore signage."

It has also been reported that local residents have claimed that subsidence has been getting worse over the last few years and that a landslip was inevitable.
