Woman airlifted in critical condition after reports she fell from motorhome on the A5
The ambulance service says a woman was airlifted in a 'critical condition' after reports she fell from a motorhome on the A5.
The A5 was initially closed in both directions from the Preston Island in Shrewsbury, to Junction 7 of the M54, for Wellington, in the wake of the incident, at around 9.35am.
The westbound carriageway was re-opened by midday, with the eastbound carriageway cleared and open as usual a couple of hours later.
A spokesman for West Midlands Ambulance Service said that a woman had been seriously injured in the incident, and was airlifted to hospital in a critical condition.
He said: "We were called to reports of a patient who had fallen from a motorhome that was travelling on the Eastbound A5 in Shrewsbury at 9.32am.
