Fatal collision closes A49 north of Hadnall
One man has died and three others have been taken to hospital following a collision between a car and two vans near Shrewsbury this afternoon.
The collision occurred near to Hardwick Motor Services on the A49 just north of Hadnall, shortly after 3.15pm.
A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokesman said: “On arrival, crews discovered a car and two vans that had been involved in a significant collision.
“Unfortunately, it quickly became apparent that nothing could be done to save the driver of the car, a man, and he was confirmed dead at the scene.
“There were two further patients in one of the vans, a man and a woman, both thought to be in their 60s.
“The woman was treated for neck and back pain and immobilised with the use of a neck collar and spinal board. The man had suffered arm injuries. They were both transported to Royal Shrewsbury Hospital by the same ambulance.
“From the second van, a man in his 20s was treated for neck and back pain. He was also immobilised with the use of a neck collar and spinal board before being taken to the same hospital.
“All three patients from the two vans managed to free themselves from their vehicles and remained conscious throughout.”
