A TWO vehicle crash in East Bergholt has forced the emergency services to close the road between the village and Manningtree this morning.

The B1070 has been closed in both directions near to the junction with Mill Lane, after a silver Honda and a white Ford collided.

Police officers were called to the scene at about 10.35am and a spokesman for the constabulary said recovery crews are at the scene at the moment.

Two people have been taken to hospital with minor injuries for further check ups after the accident.

The police spokesman said the council have also been called because of oil leaking onto the road.
