Emergency services called to two further Oswestry crashes
Emergency services have been called out to another two crashes taking the tally in the Oswestry area to four in two days
At around 8.25am today, Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service were called to a two-vehicle crash on the A5 near the town.
One fire crew based in Oswestry attended to make the vehicles safe. No one was trapped in the vehicles and the crew left soon after.
It comes after police were called to a car hitting another car on the A5 outside the Lion Quays Hotel at 7pm on Wednesday evening.
There are no reports anyone was injured, however, the car failed to stop at the scene of the collision and enquiries are on-going to trace the driver. Anyone with information can ring West Mercia Police on 101 quoting reference 612s 200319.
It is the third crash on the A5 in 48 hours, after a man died following a collision between the car he was driving and a lorry at 12.30am on Wednesday.
And on Wednesday morning, as traffic was being diverted off the A5 and through Gobowen around nine hours later, two pedestrians were hit by a van less than a mile away from where the man died.
The pedestrians, a man and a woman aged in their 70s, were both seriously injured and airlifted to hospital in Stoke.
