A road has been closed and diversions are in place after a serious collision took place on Monday afternoon.

Emergency services were initially called to Flempton Road in Risby, neary Bury St Edmunds, shortly after 4.35pm.

Two cars, a Mazda 3 and a Kia Ceed, collided on the road, forcing police to call highways.

The road is now set to be closed with diversions set to be put in place.

Fire and ambulance crews were also called to the scene.

A spokesman for Suffolk police said one person had been taken to hospital with potentially 'life changing' injuries.

Police crews left the scene several hours later.
