Emergency services were called to Post Office Lane, in Coton, following the crash.

This incident occurred just after 1pm on Wednesday.

Fire crews from Prees and Wem stations rushed to the scene, where a male and female were cut free from the car and left in the car of ambulance crews.

A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokesperson said: "We were called to reports of an RTC on the B5476 in Coton near Whitchurch at around 1.05pm.

"A paramedic officer was sent to the scene where, on arrival, they found a tractor and a car had been involved in a collision.

"We assessed the two occupants of the car, a man and a woman, but they were not injured and so were given self-care advice and discharged at the scene."

Following the incident, Shropshire Fire & Rescue were urging residents to take care in the current weather, which has seen most of Shropshire covered by rain.

West Midlands Ambulance Service has been approached for comment.
