A Land Rover has crashed on the A14 near the Orwell Bridge leaving its trailer straddling a crash barrier.

Police were called at around 10.30am today, Monday July 2, to reports of a single vehicle collision on the A14 westbound at Wherstead.

According to a spokeswoman for Suffolk police, a Land Rover with a trailer has ended up on its side causing traffic delays in the area.
