The smash happened on Saturday at about 6.10pm on Castlefields Way in Madeley.

It involved a Volkswagen (VW) Polo and a police vehicle which was responding to an emergency call at the time.

Extensive damage was caused to both vehicles, although no one was injured in the crash.

West Mercia Police are appealing for witnesses, in particular the drivers of a dark-coloured VW Gold Estate and a silver Vauxhall Corsa which were travelling from the direction of Aqueduct towards Madeley.

The collision comes just days after a driver and a pedestrian were taken to hospital after a crash involving a police car in Wellington that also left an officer injured.
