Binmen speak out after Shrewsbury crash heroics
Three binmen who have been hailed as heroes for their actions when they came across a horrific car crash in Shrewsbury today described the panic that first overcame them as they arrived on the scene.

Stuart Pugh, Sean Lane and Dave Trow were on their usual round in the Shrewsbury area when they discovered the wreckage of a car in which two people had become trapped moments earlier.
They could smell petrol and flames were licking round the engine.
The Veolia employees were travelling along Baschurch Road at Bomere Heath and had just passed over the humpback railway bridge when the horrifying aftermath of the two-vehicle crash came into view in front of them.
Mr Pugh, 37, who lives in Gains Avenue, Shrewsbury, said: "We came off the bridge there and it must have just happened as we could still see bits of debris flying everywhere.
"We both jumped out of the cab and I went to one car and Sean to the other.

"Then Sean shouted there were two people trapped in the car he was at, so I ran over to help.
"We were both just panicking, really, and went into auto-pilot – it's not like we are trained in anything like that.
"I could see they were an old couple and tried to get them out but we just couldn't. I then noticed a smell of petrol and could see flames in the engine.
"I thought 'if this car bursts into flames they are going to burn in front of our very eyes'."
Mr Pugh reacted quickly, running to the bin lorry and grabbing the fire extinguisher. He used it on the car, putting out the flames.
"When I saw them again I could just see my own grandparents and knew we had to get them out," he said.
"We tried to get them out again but couldn't.
"So I climbed into the back of the car and started asking them questions trying to keep them awake and the man was just asking us to help them.
"The woman wasn't answering.
"Even thinking about it now it was still a blur."
As the drama unfolded on the quiet country lane Mr Pugh also called 999 and the fire service arrived. They worked for more than an hour to cut the couple free.
Guy Williams, station manager at Shropshire Fire and Rescue, praised the actions of the lorry crew, saying that they prevented something which could have been even more serious.
Dr Ed Penman, who was driving past and arrived shortly after the binmen, said: "The bin crew deserve to be commended. I arrived on the scene only a minute or so after they did and by that time they had already made the scene safe, put out a fire, phoned 999 and were doing the best they could to help the driver and passenger."
Bosses at Veolia, who employ the men, also praised them for their role.
Veolia spokeswoman Cat Slaytor said the men were based at the town's Weeping Cross depot.
She said: "We are very proud of them. "They were first on the scene and acted very quickly to help those involved in the accident. Without their actions the situation could have been even worse and they deserve to be hailed as heroes."
But Mr Pugh was keen to play down the part they played in the rescue.
He said: "We don't see ourselves as heroes or anything like that.
"We have just done what any normal person would have done had they have seen what we did.
"We were very shaken afterwards and we just sat there in disbelief and shock at what happened."
The victims were cut out of the car by fire crews from Baschurch, Shrewsbury and Wellington using hydraulic cutting equipment.

The woman passenger was in a serious condition with a chest injury.
The driver suffered chest and pelvic injuries and both were airlifted to Royal Stoke University Hospital.
The male driver of the second car suffered minor injuries.
He was taken to Royal Shrewsbury Hospital by ambulance.
A team of engineers examined the bridge and the tracks to check the extent of the damage and the line returned to normal by lunchtime.
Police have also launched an investigation into the accident.
Witnesses to the crash are asked to telephone 101 quoting the reference 162 of November 10.
