IPSWICH town centre was brought to a standstill today – after a courier reportedly locked himself out of his van.

The driver is believed to have pulled up in Upper Brook Street with the intention of dropping off a delivery at around 3pm.

But he was unable to get back into the vehicle, which was left blocking the road.

The drama led to queues of furious motorists around the town centre.
