The crash happened at the Aldi roundabout on the A41, blocking the road, just after 9.30am.

Police and two ambulances were sent to the scene.

A man in his 20s, who was the driver of one of the vehicles, suffered chest and abdominal pain and was taken to Royal Shrewsbury Hospital.

A woman in her 40s, who was a passenger in one of the cars, also suffered chest pain and was taken to Telford's Princess Royal Hospital.

Motorists were warned to avoid the area as the incident caused delays before the road was reopened at midday.
