A "poorly secured load" caused a large sheet of glass to be shattered and strewn across an A- road.

Suffolk Police said that the glass covered both lanes of the A143 at Stuston, near Diss, on Wednesday.

They said the nearby A140 also had to be closed in both directions while the glass was cleared.

"A big thank you (not) to the irresponsible driver," officers said in a Facebook post. They did thank a lorry driver who stopped to help clear up.
