A man has been airlifted to hospital with potentially life-threatening injuries following a serious collision which has closed a country road in Suffolk.
Officers were initially called to Badwell Road, Badwell Ash, shortly after 10.30am today.
They arrived to find a van had collided with a tree.
It is understood that a number of ambulances have attended the scene, including the air ambulance.
A man has since been airlifted to Addenbrookes Hospital in Cambridgeshire with life-threatening injuries.
Fire crews have also attended the scene - two from Bury St Edmunds and one from Elmswell. A statement from Suffolk Fire and Rescue Service said: “Suffolk Fire and Rescue Service attended a single vehicle road traffic collision near Badwell Green, Badwell Ash.
“Crews used hydraulic cutting equipment to remove an individual from the vehicle who was then left in the care of the ambulance service.”
A Suffolk police spokesperson described the on-going incident as “serious” and the road remains closed.
