Motorists face delays in Shrewsbury following two collisions

The A5 eastbound is closed between the Churncote Roundabout and Woodcote Roundabout after a livestock trailer being towed by a 4x4 vehicle overturned just after 7am.

On the Ellesmere Road three people suffered minor injuries following a collision involving two cars and a minibus. The road is currently closed in both directions following the collision at the junction of Hubert Way.

Three people received treatment from paramedics. The minibus was not carrying passengers at the time.
