Recovery vehicles have removed a damaged car which caused congestion and tailbacks around Ipswich earlier today.

One lane was closed westbound and there was queuing traffic because of the incident.

The area affected stretched from the A1214 Copdock interchange to the Sproughton Road turn-off.

Both lanes were reopened a short time ago after the fire service completed its operation to deal with the blaze and the damaged car and debris was removed.
