Queues after three accidents in Shropshire
Queues of traffic were backed after an accident left a stretch of one of Shropshire's busiest roads partially closed.
Police closed off one lane of the A49 at Bromfield, near Ludlow, following a crash involving a lorry and a tractor just before 10am yesterday.
West Mercia Police spokesman Richard Ewels said: "It was a collision between a lorry and a tractor on the A49 at Bromfield which happened just before 10am.
"One lane of the road was closed but it reopened fully by 11.15am.
"The tractor driver suffered a cut to his head but did not require hospital treatment."
Delays had earlier been caused further down the A49, at Marshbrook near Church Stretton, after two horses were reported to be blocking the road at 8am.
Mr Ewels said the police were informed and the owner was quickly traced, with the horses being moved off the road at around 9am.
And a third incident was reported on the A49 at the island near the Nelson Inn at Rocks Green, Ludlow, involving a tractor and a trailer at around 12.40pm yesterday.
"The trailer tipped over but was quickly righted," Mr Ewels said. "There were no injuries and the road was not closed."
