One person has been taken to hospital after nine fire crews were called to an overturned lorry on a busy A-road.

Emergency services from Suffolk and Essex were called to the A12 northbound carriageway between Capel St Mary and East Bergholt following a collision involving two lorries.

The incident, at about 14:40 BST, partially blocked one lane, and a spokesperson for East of England Ambulance Service said a person was taken to Ipswich Hospital with minor injuries.

The fire service said at 16:45 it was withdrawing from the scene after making the area safe but motorists were warned to expect continued delays.
