The vehicle hit the bridge carrying the A49 over the River Onny at about 5.20pm on Thursday (September 24) and caused minor damage to the structure, Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service said.
A paramedic came across the scene near the Onibury level crossing at 5.53pm and an ambulance was sent.
A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokesperson said: “We treated one patient, a woman, for injuries not believed to be serious before she was taken to Royal Shrewsbury Hospital for further assessment.”
West Mercia Police said the road was closed until around 7.30pm.
Last September a tractor hit the bridge, prompting months of disruption while temporary traffic lights were put in place for repairs.
