A black Toyota MR2 left the road and hit a tree leaving the male driver, aged in his 20s, with serious head injuries.

A Suffolk police spokesman said the man, who sustained serious injuries, was airlifted to Addenbrooke’s Hospital in Cambridge but later died.

The road was closed in both directions between the A12 junction and the Quay Lane junction for several hours while investigations were carried out.
