A driver escaped serious injury when his lorry overturned on a busy county road.

The crash happened just after 2.30am on the B5062, close to the Sundorne Island where the lorry left the road and went into a ditch.

The driver was not injured in the accident near Haughmond Quarry, but the road was closed from 4.30am for three hours while the lorry was unloaded before it could be moved.

Inspector Andy Smith from West Mercia Police Force, said: "At 7.15am the lorry was back on the road and the road was reopened at 7.20am."
