"The man was conscious and breathing and has since been rescued from the vehicle and taken to hospital."

A spokesman for Suffolk police said: "The road is likely to be closed for some time due to debris and sheep in the road."

The spokesman has since confirmed that the road reopened at 12.55pm.

An East of England Ambulance Service spokesperson said: “Two ambulances and a senior paramedic in a support vehicle attended a road traffic collision on The Street in Bradfield Combust just before 9am today.

"Two patients were transported to the West Suffolk Hospital for further assessment and treatment.”
