A 36-year-old man has appeared in court charged with dangerous driving following a late-night crash involving an Audi TT in Ipswich.

The single-vehicle collision happened at about midnight on Friday, in Norwich Road, close to the junction with Bramford Road.

One person, understood to have been a passenger, was left with minor injuries following the crash, which closed the road for several hours.

He entered no plea to a charge of dangerous driving and was remanded in custody until a plea hearing at Ipswich Crown Court on August 23.
