A woman had to be cut free from her car by firefighters after it was involved in a collision with a tractor in Ipswich today.

The crash happened just before 4pm in Bramford Road, at the junction with Surbiton Road.

The woman sustained minor injuries, a spokeswoman for Suffolk Constabulary said.

No one else was thought to have been hurt during the collision.

The road was closed while emergency services worked at the scene. It reopened just after 5.20pm, police confirmed.

Suffolk Fire and Rescue Service sent three crews - one from Ipswich East and two from Ipswich Princes Street - to the scene.

There were long delays in the area as drivers made their way home during rush-hour.
