Emergency services were called to the busy road at Preston Brockhurst, between Prees Green and Shrewsbury, at about 6.30pm.

Shrewsbury Police said the drivers and occupants were lucky to escape with just minor injuries because they were wearing seatbelts.

Motorists were urged to find alternative routes while the cars were recovered and the road was cleared.

It re-opened about shortly before 8pm.
