The two females in the Seat were taken to Ipswich Hospital, but their injuries were not thought to be serious.

A spokesman for Suffolk Police said: “I can confirm that at 7.22pm this evening police were called to an accident where a Volkswagen Gulf motor vehicle and a Seat motor vehicle were in collision.

“As a result the two male occupants of the Gulf suffered fatal injuries and the two female occupants of the Seat were taken to Heath Road Hospital, where their injuries are not thought to be serious.

“Unfortunately that is all the information I can release at this time. We will be launching an accident investigation and would appeal to anybody who saw either vehicles to contact us.”

A spokesperson for East Anglian Ambulance added: “One of our paramedics who was off duty reported the accident at around 7.20pm.

“When the ambulance arrived they were already attending to some of the others who had minor injuries.

“We believe that the two fatalities are both young males.”

A spokesperson for Suffolk Fire Service added: “Two fire appliances from Princes Street and one from headquarters attended the scene.

“Although we were called there were no rescues to be performed and so we had a supervisory role.”
