QD in Sudbury’s East Street reopens after accident
A car smashed into the front of a shop in Sudbury earlier today.
Suffolk Police, alongside ambulance crews and firefighters from Sudbury and Long Melford, were alerted to the QD in East Street, following reports of a collision involving a car.
The manager of the store evacuated the building immediately after the accident, and staff are working to clean up. No one was hurt.
The store’s manager said the car damaged a window and the outside of the building.
After the incident, an elderly driver was taken to hospital.
A spokesman for Suffolk Police said it is believed to have been the result of a medical episode, rather than injuries suffered in the accident.
The East of England Ambulance Service said: “One ambulance and Essex and Herts Air Ambulance were called to East Street this morning following reports of a road traffic collision.
“One man was transported by road ambulance to West Suffolk Hospital for further assessment and care.”
QD Sudbury’s manager said the store reopened at 12.40pm.
