Part of a dual carriageway will stay closed overnight after a lorry transporting gravel overturned on a roundabout.

The vehicle toppled over on the A12 near The Hollies holiday resort in Kessingland, Lowestoft at about 08:25 BST but nobody was injured, Suffolk Police said.

A short southbound stretch of the A12 has been cordoned off and will remain closed overnight, with drivers being advised to avoid the area.

Suffolk Police said the road surface has been damaged and needs repairs.
