Two trapped after four-vehicle crash at notorious A483 junction
Two people became trapped after a four-vehicle smash at one of the most notorious accident black spots in Shropshire.
The crash happened at the Llynclys crossroads on the A483 near Oswestry shortly before 10am today.
All three emergency services were in attendance and the road became partially blocked, with motorists experiencing long delays as a result/
The fire service reported the incident involved four vehicles and that two people were trapped before being rescued by ambulance paramedics.
The extent of their injuries is not yet known.
AA Traffic News reported "severe delays" on the busy road that links Shropshire with Mid Wales.
Shropshire Fire & Rescue Service sent one appliance with crews from Ellesmere and Oswestry.
There have been multiple calls in recent years for safety measures to be brought in to improve the crossroads due to the amount of accidents, some which have resulted in death.
