DRIVERS were facing long delays on the A14 today after an overturned lorry led to the busy dual carriageway being closed.

Police and the Highways Agency diverted traffic off the road while work to recover the vehicle was underway.

The road was closed in both directions at Rougham shortly before 8am, having been reduced to one lane in the westbound carriageway since the accident happened at 4.35am.

The driver was uninjured and no other vehicles were involved in the crash.

The stretch of the A14 has since been fully re-opened to traffic.
