A woman was trapped for about an hour after a car and van were involved in a collision on a rural road.

It happened on the A488 From Nags Head To Plealey to the south west of Shrewsbury at about 6.20pm on Tuesday night.

An ambulance and a paramedic area support officer were sent to the scene.

A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokesman said: “On arrival crews found a silver Ford Fiesta with significant rear end damage. A blue van had front end damage.

“A 29 year old woman who was in the front passenger seat of the car had chest and back injuries.  Working with firefighters, it took about an hour to free her.  She was taken to Royal Shrewsbury Hospital.

“A man and two children in the car were also assessed but did not need hospital treatment

“The man driving the van had been taken to a nearby property where he too was assessed but also did not need hospital treatment.”
