Firefighters had to free a trapped motorist whose car has collided with a wall in a Suffolk town.

The single-vehicle crash involving a silver Ford Fiesta happened in Saxmundham Road, Leiston shortly before 11.30pm on Thursday.

A spokeswoman for Suffolk Constabulary said the building involved was a cottage, but it was not clear as this stage if the car had hit the property or a garden wall.

Suffolk Fire and Rescue Service also sent three crews, one each from Aldeburgh, Leiston and Saxmundham.

The driver of the car had to be released from the car.

Paramedics attended the scene with only minor injuries being reported.

The road was blocked for a time for recovery but was cleared early on Friday morning.
