NACTON: Drivers faced delays after a three-vehicle crash blocked the A14 at the Seven Hills interchange this morning.

The east-bound carriageway of the stretch was closed after the smash between a motorway maintenance tipper truck, a silver Vauxhall Vivaro and a green tractor on the slip road around 10am.

Tailbacks built up amid heavy traffic before one lane was opened a few minutes after the collision.

Paramedics were called to treat three casualties at the scene and the driver of the van was taken to Ipswich Hospital with minor injuries.
