Photos reveal aftermath of horror A49 lorry crash
These photos reveal the aftermath of a head-on crash involving two lorries and a van on the A49.
Firefighters had to cut a casualty free from one of the two articulated lorries that collided just outside of Whitchurch on Friday.
The A49 was shut in both directions in the aftermath of the crash, which saw the van overturn and end up across one side of the carriageway.
Police, paramedics and an air ambulance were all sent after the crash happened next to Bradeley Green Lane, north of Whitchurch, at around noon.
Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service today shared photos of the scene, showing the scale of the damage.
Both cabs were completely destroyed, having collided head-on, while the van ended up on its side with its front edge resting in a hedge.
Paramedics treated two casualties, one of whom was cut free from a lorry cab by firefighters.
Fire crews from Shropshire and across the Cheshire border also stopped leaking oil and diesel going into a grid and into the watercourse.
The Environment Agency was informed.
