EMERGENCY services were called to a road traffic accident involving a car and motorcycle in Beccles this afternoon.

The East of England Ambulance Service (EEAS) were called shortly after 2pm to Upper Grange Road with reports of a collision between a motorcycle and a car.

Two people, both of an unknown age, were reported to have minor injuries. The male motorcyclist suffered a minor mouth injury and complained of central neck and hip pain. The female driver had to be freed by fire crews after becoming trapped in her car. She also complained of central neck pain.

A spokesperson from the EEAS said: 'There were no life threatening injuries.'

Staff at nearby Sir John Leman High School arranged for pupils to go home avoiding the scene of the accident.
