A car collided with a telegraph pole and caused power wires to fall into the road in west Suffolk.

Firefighters temporarily shut off Ixworth Road in Stowlangtoft due to reports of smoke coming from the Vauxhall Corsa.

UK Power Networks said seven people had experienced power cuts due to the collision, which happened around 9.15am.

A Suffolk Constabulary spokesman said the male driver was not injured.
