Firefighters from Tweedale were called after a car rolled down a hill and came to rest in what was described as a "precarious position" on Coalport Road, Madeley, at about 6pm.

A spokeswoman for Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service said: "We were called by police. It wasn't actually a road traffic collision, it was a mechanical fault that led to the car coming to rest in on trees on an embankment."

She said crews made the vehicle safe and a recovery vehicle was called.
