HGV has hit several cars, before colliding with a building in Ludlow.

The incident happened overnight, with emergency services called to Sheet Road, to reports of a collision.

The HGV had hit several parked vehicles, before colliding with a building on Lower Galdeford in the market town.

The road was closed for several hours, but has since reopened.

An update from Ludlow Town Council (Shropshire Council) said:

“We have had to suspend the Family and Community Hub services at Ludlow Youth Centre from today (Monday 28 April) until further notice following a road traffic accident overnight involving a lorry which has caused damage to the building.

“We regret any inconvenience this may cause for people using the hub in Ludlow. 

“The council and partner agencies are contacting anyone who was due to attend a pre-booked appointment to advise them of the closure.

“We are working with services based in the Hub to see if these can be moved to alternative venues in the town. 

“Further updates on this will be provided as work continues with the next update provided by Wednesday 30 April 2025.

“For the safety of the public and staff, the building will remain closed while we conduct a thorough assessment and carry out any necessary repairs.  

“Members of the public are advised to stay away from the building during this time.”
