Firefighters, police and paramedics were called to the scene of a road traffic collision at around 7.23pm on Saturday.

The incident, which happened on the B4555 Ingram Lane just outside of Chelmarsh near Bridgnorth, involved an overturned hatchback.

Firefighters from Cleobury Mortimer, Telford Central and Wellington Station attended the scene, along with West Midlands Ambulance Service and West Mercia Police.

PC Nolan was one of those on the scene, and confirmed that both occupants of the vehicle were "okay", with one requiring a check-up at the hospital.

He added: "Can I please make a plea to be aware of the drop in weather causing greasy and slippery top surfaces of roads at this time of the year, coupled with the mud from agricultural vehicles this can cause a hazardous surface which cannot be seen on dark unlit roads until its too late."

West Midlands Ambulance Service has been approached for comment.
