A busy road in Felixstowe has reopened after a crash involving a motorcycle and car.

Recovery vehicles were called to the scene of the crash on Sea Road, Felixstowe, shortly after 8pm Wednesday evening, March 20.

A motorcycle and a car had collided earlier in the afternoon, with police closing the road between The Felsto Arms and The Flying Boat pubs, after arriving on scene at 5.15pm.

An eyewitness said that the motorcycle had hurtled about 40 yards down the road after the crash causing considerable damage.
