Emergency crews were called shortly after 1pm on Saturday after reports of a crash on the westbound carriageway of the A5 at Edgebold Roundabout, the junction with the A488.

Two fire crews from Shrewsbury were sent, where they joined police and paramedics.

Shropshire Fire & Rescue Service reported that nobody was trapped and two casualties were left with West Midlands Ambulance Service. The extent of their injuries is not currently known.
