A CAR was severely damaged after it collided with a hedge on a Suffolk road this afternoon.

The incident happened on the A134 in Newton, near Sudbury at about 2pm.

A police spokesman said the person was conscious and breathing and was not taken to hospital.

A recovery vehicle had been called to take away a blue Ford Fiesta which was involved in the incident.

The road had been partially blocked and there was slow traffic in both directions at the Valley Road junction.
