A crash took place on a busy roundabout on the A5 in Shrewsbury last night.

The two-vehicle smash happened on the Emstrey roundabout on the A5 at around 7.20pm on Sunday. Nobody was trapped.

A set of traffic lights are currently out at the roundabout after another crash on December 11. Highways England say they are unlikely to be repaired until the new year due to an issue with the supply of parts.

A Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service spokesman said: "At 7.20pm on Sunday, December, 19, we received a call reporting an RTC in Shrewsbury involving two vehicles.

"One fire appliance was mobilised from Shrewsbury. No persons trapped. No action required by fire service."

A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokeswoman said: “We were called at 6.58pm to reports of a road traffic collision on the A5 Emstrey Island, Shrewsbury. One ambulance attended the scene. On arrival, we found one patient, a woman, she was assessed on scene and had sustained injuries not considered to be serious, she received self care advice and was discharged on scene.”
