A two car crash has left five people injured in Telford this evening.

A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokeswoman said: “Crews arrived to find two cars, with a total of six occupants, which had been involved in a serious collision.
“A front seat passenger sustained facial injuries and a hand injury.
“A rear seat passenger, a 15 year old girl, sustained a collar bone injury and was administered pain relief by crews.
“The driver of one car, a 44 year old man, sustained a fractured wrist and neck pain. He was given pain relief before being immobilised with a neck collar and spinal board. All three patients were taken by land ambulances to Royal Shrewsbury Hospital.
“Two further patients, the second driver and a third passenger, suffered minor injuries and were taken to Princess Royal Hospital. The sixth occupant, a man, was uninjured and did not require hospital treatment.”
