A caravan has been "completely destroyed" in a blaze in Oswestry, firefighters have said.

Crews were called to the burning vehicle on Wednesday night, shortly before 21:00 BST, on the A5 at Queen's Head.

Two fire engines were sent and crews used a thermal imaging camera to check for residual heat, Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service said.

A spokesman said the fire was extinguished after about 40 minutes and that the touring caravan's recovery was being arranged by the owner.
