Two babies were among five taken to hospital after a six-vehicle crash which caused severe delays on the A14.
Suffolk Fire and Rescue Service was called to the westbound carriageway between junction 52 at Claydon and junction 51 at Needham Market at 5.43pm on Tuesday, November 3.
Crews arrived to find two separate but related collisions at the end of the slip road from the Claydon junction.
The first involved four vehicles which had collided end-to-end, with five adults and two babies in the vehicles.
A fifth vehicle then swerved to avoid the four vehicles and collided with a sixth.
Two adults were involved in the second collision but were uninjured and able to drive away from the scene.
Fire crews from Ipswich East, Princes Street and Needham Market checked those involved, made the scene safe and helped police clear the carriageway.
The East of England Ambulance Service said five patients were taken to Ipswich Hospital for further care.
No further information on their condition has been released.
The collision caused severe disruption on the A14 on Tuesday evening, with traffic held on the westbound carriageway between Claydon and Needham Market.
Motorists faced delays of around 15 minutes and a mile of congestion before the vehicles were recovered and the road was reported clear at about 7.10pm.
