Oswestry road closed as lorry crash leaves one injured
A person was injured in a crash involving a car and a lorry which led to the closure of a busy road in Oswestry.
The serious collision took place on the Maesbury Road, which cuts through the town's industrial estates, at rush hour on Tuesday.
There were initial reports that there were people trapped in one of the vehicles but firefighters who arrived at the scene found that was not the case.
The crash happened at about 5.45pm and the road between the Mile Oak Industrial Estate and Maes-y-Clawdd was still closed at 8pm.
Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service said that firefighters were mobilised including crews from Ellesmere and an emergency tender from Wellington.
A spokesman for the service said no-one was trapped. One casualty was left in the care of the ambulance service.
The local police neighbourhood team urged drivers to avoid the Maesbury Road.
"The road is closed because of a serious accident," officers said.
Traffic was said to be coping well with the road closure, diverting along the Maes-y-Clawdd road.
