Drivers experienced delays on a key Suffolk route this morning after a lorry collided with a verge.

Police and the ambulance service were called to the A14 eastbound between junction 46 and junction 47.

A spokeswoman for the East of England Ambulance Service said: “We were called at 7.15am with reports of collision on the A14 near Tostock.

“We sent an ambulance and an ambulance officer vehicle.

“One person was taken to West Suffolk Hospital for further care.”

Police were then called to the collision at 8.10am.
