Collision closes A5 between Wellington and Shrewsbury
A collision involving fours cars and a motorcycle this morning closed the A5 westbound between Wellington and Shrewsbury.
The collision occurred around 6am. One driver suffered minor injuries, the motorcyclist suffered leg injuries and was taken to Royal Shrewsbury Hospital.
Motorists faced around an hour's delay on the M54 westbound between Junctions 7 and 5 for Telford town centre. On the old A5 between Wellington and Shrewsbury delays of around 30 minutes were reported by motorists.
Three fire appliances were mobilised from Shrewsbury and Wellington to deal with a small amount of fuel spillage.
The road has since re-opened but traffic remains busy in the area.
