Last updated 24th Oct 2025
Officers from West Mercia Police are currently at the scene of a collision on the A49 at Woofferton.
The collision occurred at around 1.30am this morning ( Friday 24 October) and involved two cars and a HGV vehicle.
Officers are working to identify the driver of one of the cars, who is believed to have left the scene in another vehicle. The driver of the other car involved in the collision, and the HGV driver were uninjured.
The A49 is currently closed from the junction of the A456, next to the Salwey Arms, to the Brimfield Business Park and is likely to remain closed for a substantial amount of time, due to a fuel spillage.
Drivers travelling southbound are being advised by West Mercia Police to head left for Ludlow and drivers travelling towards Hereford are advised to travel right past the Woofferton garage.
Inspector Pete Frankish said: “ We are carrying out a number of enquiries to locate the driver of the car, and check if they are injured.
We would urge anyone with information, or dashcam footage which could assist with our enquiries to please get in touch.”
