Suffolk police were on the scene in the southbound carriageway of the road, between Elveden and Mildenhall, this afternoon after a vehicle caught fire.

The Norfolk and Suffolk Roads and Armed Policing Team tweeted at 3.10pm saying: "Lane one south bound on A11 between Elveden and Mildenhall closed for recovery of a vehicle that caught fire earlier.

"No one hurt! Hopefully your dinner doesn't end up like this VW!"
