A 51-year-old man was taken to hospital after a three-vehicle crash near Lowestoft this morning.

Emergency services were called shortly before 8am to the A146 Beccles Road between Carlton Colville and Barnby.

The man was taken to the James Paget Hospital in Gorleston after fire crew freed him by removing the roof of his car.

An ambulance service spokesman said: “He was conscious and breathing. He was not trapped, but did not get out of the car himself as he was suffering from neck pain.”

One lane of the road was closed after the accident, but police said traffic was moving normally by 9.35am.
