Out of respect for the man involved and his family, we will not be releasing further details until we have consent to do so.
UPDATE: The following information has since been generally shared. The driver of the vehicle involved in the emergency was Cllr Tom Rounds who had just left The Dog & Partridge pub when he suffered a heart attack at the wheel and crashed into a tree. He was resuscitated at the scene. Since then Cllr Rounds has been under the care of the Bristol Heart Institue where he has reportedly recently had a triple bypass and is now convalescing - we wish him a speedy recovery.
