The accident occurred around 6.45pm and is believed to have been caused by a pedestrian attempting to cross the road near to the bridge which carries the A339 over the Kennet & Avon Canal.
A man was taken to the John Radcliffe hospital in Oxford with serious injuries. The road reopened shortly after midnight and police are appealing for witnesses.
