Person taken to hospital after A14 crash at Whitehouse Interchange outside Ipswich

A person has been taken to hospital after a crash on the A14 outside Ipswich.

Officers were alerted to the westbound route at junction 53, Whitehouse Interchange, at 8.55am following reports of a collision involving a car and a lorry.

The road was not closed but traffic built up between junctions 53 and 55.

A spokeswoman for Suffolk Police said the force was likely be able to remove the lorry itself, meaning recovery was not required.

The route should be clear ‘sooner rather than later’, she added.

A spokesman for Suffolk Accident and Rescue Service (SARS) said the charity was called to the scene.

They checked one person over before they were taken to hospital by the East of England Ambulance Service.
