Two of the cars crashed head on at about 3pm on Monday, and four fire crews attended as well as police and ambulances.

A spokesman for the Market Drayton Fire Station said: "Trauma care was provided by both West Midlands Ambulance Service staff, firefighters and police officers to a total of ten casualties, five adults and five young children.
