The emergency services are currently at the scene of a serious crash along the A14 - the third incident along the road today (March 30). 

Suffolk Police was called to a three-vehicle crash at just after 6pm this evening on the eastbound carriageway near Beyton, on the outskirts of Bury St Edmunds.

Fire and ambulance crews were also called to the scene, as was the air ambulance.

The road is currently closed in both directions at junction 43 eastbound and junction 46 westbound.

UPDATE: A14 remains closed 13 hours after serious crash

Diversions are in place and drivers are advised to find alternative routes while initial investigations are conducted and the carriageway is cleared and made safe.

Suffolk Police said no details of any casualties will be released at present and that the road will remain closed for a "considerable length of time tonight".

They also thanked drivers for their patience while the incident is being dealt with.  

It comes following two incidents on the A14 earlier today, with the eastbound carriageway closed at junction 43 after a lorry hit a tyre.
