Vehicle made contact with central reservation barrier

Reported via mobile in the Structures (eg bridges, fencing, noise barriers) (NH) category anonymously at 20:09, Wed 6 August 2025

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 7989274.

On the A5 around Shrewsbury heading east from Meole Brace, at about 200 yards or so before the exit slip road for the A458, I lost control slightly of my car and scraped the central reservation barrier. The barrier appeared to be ok and I observed no debris on the road.
