The Trefonen Road junction with Old Mapsis Way in Morda was closed early on Friday morning following a collision "involving a pedestrian and car," West Mercia Police said.

A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokesman said: “On arrival, ambulance staff discovered a car that had overturned and the pedestrian, a woman, who had suffered serious injuries in the incident.

“They immediately began administering emergency care at the scene before airlifting the patient to Royal Stoke University Hospital.

“The driver of the car, a man, was assessed and discharged at the scene.”
