  • A spokeswoman for Suffolk Police said officers are currently at the scene.

  • The lorry has suffered a tyre blowout and is awaiting recovery.

  • Live traffic reports show long delays in the area, affecting morning commuters.

Why it matters: It comes as the PM has agreed to ministerial talks about an Ipswich Northern Bypass following mounting pressure over the economic impact of Ipswich's road network.
