Three people were treated for shock after a crash on the A14 involving a tanker lorry and a car.

One lane of the eastbound carriageway east of the Stow-Cum-Quy junction near Newmarket was closed.

Emergency services were called to the scene of the crash which happened next to a speed camera at 12.16pm yesterday.

A crash barrier was damaged in the accident and debris has been strewn over both carriageways but it is not thought anyone suffered life-threatening injuries.

The A11 north, which is close to the scene, also experienced tailbacks while the wreckage was removed.
