A pregnant woman escaped uninjured when a car she was in overturned and landed on its roof following a collision with a lorry on a major Shropshire trunk road.
The collision happened on the A5 at West Felton near Oswestry yesterday afternoon.
One woman with slight concussion was taken to hospital following the incident while the expectant mother, who it is believed had been on her way to the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital for a routine appointment, was not injured and continued her journey in the ambulance.
The collision happened just after 3pm.
Chris Kowalik, a spokesman for West Midlands Ambulance Service, said: “The collision involved a car containing two women and a man, all in their 20s, and a lorry.
“The car overturned, landing on its roof.
“The driver, who was a woman, had banged her head and had slight concussion and was taken to the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital.”
He said the pregnant woman had been on her way to the hospital in the car so she resumed her journey in an ambulance.
The man was not injured, he added.
Maria Hawkaluk, police spokeswoman, said the vehicles involved were a blue Vauxhall Astra and a lorry.
She said: “The car was overturned but nobody was trapped.”
