EMERGENCY services have reopened the A12 after a car left the road and collided with a tree.

Suffolk police received a call at 9.25am to reports that a Honda Jazz had left the northbound carriageway, travelled across the southbound carriageway and collided with trees at Woodbridge.

A police spokesman said: “The car left the road and into some trees and ended up on its roof.

“There are two elderly people inside the vehicle.

“It is believed one has a serious back injury.”

Both carriageways, between the junction for Ufford and junction for the A1152, were closed to allow the air ambulance to land but have now reopened.

He added: “Paramedics found the injuries were not as bad as first thought.”

Both patients were taken to Ipswich Hospital by land ambulance for further treatment.
