Officers are appealing for witnesses following a serious road traffic collision involving three vehicles on Whitchurch Road in Shrewsbury at 7.40pm last night.

The collision involved a blue BMW 120 on an ‘05’ plate, allegedly driving on the wrong side of the road, a white Vauxhall Corsa, and a blue BMW 125 on a ‘14’ plate.

There are believed to have been five occupants of one of the cars who allegedly ran off from the scene.

The male driver of the Corsa has sustained a potential life-threatening spinal injury which is currently being assessed by doctors at the QE Hospital in Birmingham.

Three others - two men aged 63 and 64, and a woman aged 44 - were also seriously injured and were taken to the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital.

Three men have been arrested on suspicion of causing injury by dangerous driving and are helping police with enquiries.
