There were long delays on a major road in Suffolk this morning after a lorry crashed into a ditch.

Suffolk Constabulary was called just before 6.20am to the single-vehicle crash on the A143 at Stanton.

The Suffolk Fire and Rescue Service also attended from Ixworth and Bury St Edmunds, but no action was needed as the driver was already out of the cab when they arrived.

A spokesman for Suffolk police has said that as the lorry was off the road, it was not blocking traffic and it will be recovered this morning.

National Highways have also been notified due to damage to the road surface.

Delays from the lorry have since reduced, but temporary traffic lights on the A143 are causing queues near Great Barton.
