Lucky escape after metal pole impales windscreen

A woman escaped injury after a metal pole from a farming trailer went through her car windscreen.

West Mercia Police said it appeared an arm on the agricultural trailer had failed, lowering the machinery, which then hit a van and the Ford Fiesta on the A488 at Wagbeach, in Shropshire.

Police officers were called to the scene and the road was closed.

The crash happened at 17:10 BST on Wednesday and the force said it was "very lucky" no-one had been injured.
