A person was taken to hospital following a crash which blocked the A12 in east Suffolk. 

Emergency services including Suffolk police were called to a collision involving two vehicles on the major route in Wrentham, near Southwold, at about 4.40pm on Wednesday. 

A spokesman for Suffolk police said a black Kia and beige Citroen were involved in the crash. 

A full road closure was put in place just after 5pm as diesel was spilled on the carriage way. 

Three fire engines from Suffolk Fire and Rescue Service attended the scene from Wrentham and Lowestoft South stations. 

One woman had to be extracted from a vehicle.
