Two motorists were flown to hospital with life-threatening injuries last night after a crash in Earl Stonham.

Emergency services were called to the A1120 shortly before 4.50pm on Easter Sunday to reports of a head-on two-car collision.

A Suffolk police spokesman said two cars were involved and two people suffered life-threatening or life-changing injuries.

The pair were taken by air ambulance to Addenbrooke’s Hospital in Cambridge.

Four fire crews from Suffolk Fire and Rescue were called to the scene – one each from Ipswich Princes Street, Debenham, Stowmarket and Elmswell – alongside paramedics from the East of England Ambulance Service.

The road was closed while an investigation was carried out. It reopened just after 11.45pm.

Anyone who witnessed the crash is asked to contact police on 101.
