UPDATE: All lanes have now reopened following the earlier crash

The A14 was closed for several hours after a three vehicle crash near Trimley St Martin.

Emergency services were called to the crash in the westbound carriageway just after 3.40pm today, Sunday, January 8.

A spokesman for Suffolk police said: "The road is closed and is likely to remain closed for some time.

"No serious injuries have been reported and we are waiting for recovery to arrive."

Suffolk Fire and Rescue were also called to the crash but were not required when they arrived.

A spokesman for the fire service said: "We are assisting police and ambulance service after the three-vehicle crash."

Motorists leaving Felixstowe are now using alternative routes which is causing roads in the town and Trimley to become heavily congested.

Ambulance crews are also at the scene of the crash.
