EIGHT people are today recovering after four separate road traffic accidents across the county.
Four females, including toddler and a teenager, were injured in a head-on collision between two vehicles near Framlingham yesterday.
The accident on the B1116 Woodbridge Road happened shortly before 5pm and involved a Vauxhall Nova and Ford Escort.
Emergency services, including a fire crew, four ambulances and a Suffolk Accident Rescue Service doctor, were on the scene to help the casualties.
No one was seriously hurt in the collision but the four were taken to Ipswich Hospital with minor injuries including neck injuries, concussion and seatbelt injuries.
The road was blocked for more than an hour while emergency services worked at the scene.
Earlier in the day there had been another two-vehicle collision on the B1116.
A van and a car collided head-on on the Laxfield stretch of the carriageway at about 12.12pm.
The East Anglian Air Ambulance was called to the scene and took the car driver to the James Paget Hospital at Gorleston.
The van driver was taken to the same hospital by ambulance.
Their injuries were not thought to be life-threatening.
Meanwhile two accidents today brought traffic to a standstill on Suffolk's roads.
The first happened at Hadleigh at about 7.20am. Two vehicles were involved in collision on the A1071, near to the junction with Lady Lane.
One of the vehicles, a Ford Fiesta, ended up in a hedge as a result of the accident. A Suffolk Police spokeswoman said the car's driver was reported to be uninjured but shaken.
Traffic was held up for more than half an hour as a result of the accident.
About an hour later a car overturned on the A12 Martlesham bypass, between the roundabout near Suffolk Police headquarters and the first Woodbridge roundabout out of Ipswich.
The female driver was taken by ambulance to Ipswich Hospital.
The accident brought northbound traffic to a standstill causing long tail backs until about 9.30am.
However, delays were expected later in the day when work was due to take place on repairing the central reservation damaged in the crash.
