A motorcyclist has been airlifted to hospital with serious injuries following a collision with a car on the B1456.

Suffolk police said the crash – between a car and a motorcycle – happened at around 4pm on Tuesday in Woolverstone, between Shotley and Ispwich.

The Essex and Herts Air Ambulance and Suffolk Accident Rescue Service (SARS) were called the scene.

A SARS spokesman said the motorcyclist had been taken to Addenbrooke’s Hospital in Cambridge for treatment after sustaining serious injuries.

The road was closed by police but has since reopened.
