Following the crash, a spokesperson from Bridgnorth Fire Station said: "Crews have just returned from a road traffic collision on the A458 at Mose, on the outskirts of the town.

"Two vehicles collided, leaving one of them on its side with the driver trapped.

"Crews worked alongside colleagues from WMP and WMAS, as well as Midlands Air Ambulance Charity to extricate the casualty using Holmatro cutting equipment and render first aid.

"We were supported by our colleagues from Albrighton Fire Station and Wellington.

"A second casualty was also treated for injuries at the road side.

"Please note the road is open but may be closed to allow for recovery of the vehicles.

Writing on Twitter, West Mercia Police urged people in the area to take a different route.
