Officers from West Mercia Police reported on social media on Monday morning that a cover on the A41 north of Tern Hill had given way.

Photos from the scene showed the collapsed drain, leaving a hole in the road, with a cone placed in it. Officers from the North Shropshire Safer Neighbourhood Teams were remaining on site until workers arrived.

Writing on Facebook, officers said: "The road is passable with care whilst we wait for highways."
