Four fire crews were sent to the A41 near Hinstock after the coach came off the road at about 1.30pm on Tuesday.

Nobody was injured or trapped on the coach after the incident, which saw Market Drayton's safer neighbourhood team close off one lane of the road.

It was shut for more than three hours while the coach was recovered.

Fire crews from Hodnet, Newport and Wellington were sent to help make sure the area was safe.

Market Drayton SNTs thanked motorists.

"The road is now clear," they tweeted. "Thanks for your patience.

"Thankfully driver escaped uninjured."
