Serious damage was caused to a Pontiac Trans-Am sports car in the crash, which happened at about 1.45pm on the Felixstowe bound carriageway, between Copdock and the Wherstead slip-road.
The rear of a heavy goods vehicle involved in the accident was damaged, although the driver was unharmed. No one else was involved.

Accident investigators were due on the scene to try and establish the cause of the accident.
It was not known how long part of the road would be closed.
