Emergency services were called to the A49 at Wellington Marsh yesterday evening after a car ploughed into a house.

The incident happened on the stretch of road between Wellington and Moreton Business Park.

Fire crews from Hereford, Leominster and Droitwich were called the scene at just before 7:45pm.

The property was severely unstable following the collision. Firefighters worked through the night to shore the property up externally and internally.

Temporary traffic lights are in place this morning while structural investigations continue.
