The man was taken to hospital by police while the woman was taken to Royal Stoke University Hospital by ambulance.Councillor Nelson wished those involved a full recovery and said:"The A41 has become a monster. It is of a piece with many roads across the country that aren't motorways, but link conurbations.
"Add in 'out of town' discounters like Aldi and Lidl, both right on the A41 in Newport. They have proved very popular, more than ever in a 'cost of living' crisis, and they are visited principally by car. "There is a scheme I have supported in public recently, to install average speed cameras on the A41, between Woodcote and Tern Hill. Possibly two sections.
Helen Morgan, Liberal Democrat MP for North Shropshire, added: “A number of constituents have contacted me about safety issues on the A41, and how it impacts their day-to-day lives. It is incumbent on Shropshire Council to listen to residents and act on their behalf. "Unfortunately, speed, driver error and distraction still cause most collisions along this very busy stretch of road, with massive consequences to all involved.
