Two ambulances, a paramedic officer and the Welsh Air Ambulance attended the scene.
A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokesman said: "Crews arrived to find a car and a large tractor that had been in a collision.
"Three people who had been travelling in the car were all out of the vehicle being looked after by an off-duty nurse.
"Ambulance crews started treating the patients; a boy believed to be 10 years old and the front seat passenger suffered potentially serious leg injuries; the woman in her 30s who was the driver was treated for multiple minor injuries and the rear seat passenger, a boy believed to be in his early teens, was treated for a shoulder injury.
"Following treatment all three were transferred by ambulances to Royal Shrewsbury Hospital for further emergency treatment.
"The hospital had been pre alerted to the patients and their injuries.
