A 17-year-old boy found dead in a country road in Shropshire may have been hit by a vehicle, police say.

His body was found in Brampton Road, near Bishop's Castle, south Shropshire, in the early hours of Sunday.

West Mercia Police said it appeared he had been walking along the road when he suffered fatal injuries, but said the cause of death had yet to be fully established.

The force has appealed for information from people who may have seen the boy.

It has also asked for people to come forward with dashcam footage recorded in the area on Sunday morning.
