The A5 in Weirbrook, between Shotatton and Oswestry, was partially blocked yesterday evening.

Traffic was slow moving in both directions near the Gamester's Lane junction following the crash.

Motorists faced delays of about 25 minutes travelling from the Shrewsbury direction, while cars heading south from Oswestry were backed up for more than two miles while the scene was cleared.

A recovery vehicle was at the scene last night. It is not known if anyone was hurt.
