Two lorries collided on the A49 outside the village of Leebotwood, near Church Stretton, at approximately 9.15am yesterday morning, forcing the closure of the road.

The road reopened last night after closing for several hours.

West Mercia Police confirmed they were dealing with a 'serious' crash yesterday and urged drivers to find an alternative route, while West Midlands Ambulance Service attended the scene.
