The four men and two women - aged 18 to 25 - were returning from the One World music festival, near Nunney Catch services on the A361, about five miles from the market town.
Police believe that their blue and silver Ford Fiesta crossed the carriageway to collide head-on with a white Transit van travelling in the opposite direction on the A361. The Fiesta spun round in the roadway to mount a grass verge, striking two men who were walking there. One of the walkers was seriously injured, receiving chest, leg, head and abdomen injuries. He was airlifted to the Frenchay Hospital, Bristol, where he was in critical condition last night.
