The crash happened near Upton Magna, on the A5 stretch between Cluddley (where the road becomes the M54) and Preston just before 10.30am.

Four fire crews were sent out from stations at Wellington, Telford Central and Shrewsbury, after it was reported that a vehicle had left the carriageway and come to rest in a ditch near Upton Magna.

Nobody was trapped in the vehicle, and the firefighters helped to make the scene safe.

It happened an hour and a half after two vehicles crashed on the M54, between Junctions 6 and 7.
