A woman in her mid 20s was hurt in a three vehicle crash in Colchester Road, Ipswich, earlier today.

The accident took place at 3.45pm between Westerfield Road and Tuddenham Road which resulted in big traffic queues building up.

The crash involved a black Ford Fiesta, a blue VW Beetle and a blue Ford Zetec.

A team from the highways department was called in to clear the road of leaking fluid from the vehicles and the incident was cleared up just before 5pm.

Suffolk police said the injured woman, who suffered minor injuries and possible shock, was taken to the Ipswich Hospital for treatment
