Rush hour delays in Telford after crash and breakdown
Rush-hour commuters faced lengthy delays this morning after police attended two incidents within a few miles of each other.
One side of the A442 on the approach to Telford between Sutton Maddock and Sutton Hill was closed following a three-vehicle crash just before 8am.
Anne Tugwell of West Mercia Police said there was a collision between a grey Renault Megane, a black VW Polo and a white van at the junction with the B4176 Bridgnorth Road at Sutton Maddock.
A woman occupant of the Renault was taken to hospital after suffering from chest pains.
Police directed traffic while the vehicles were recovered.
In a separate incident about the same time, police shut off a lane of Queensway at Randlay interchange in Telford while a broken-down van awaited recovery.
Traffic was queuing back as far as the Stirchley interchange.
Delays of up to half an hour were experienced.
