A TEENAGER has been airlifted to hospital after a horror smash in west Suffolk this afternoon.

Firefighters had to cut two young men from their vehicle after it was involved in a collision with another car in Glemsford, near Sudbury.

The crash happened at 1.10pm and has left a 17 or 18 year-old from Glemsford with what has been described as a “serious” hip injury.

He was air lifted from the scene to West Suffolk Hospital.

The other person trapped in the green Subaru Impreza, a 24-year-old man, was taken by land ambulance to the Bury St Edmunds-based hospital with a leg injury.

A blue Vauxhall Corsa was the other car involved in the smash on Hobbs Lane.

A female in the vehicle from Great Cornard is thought to have suffered only minor injuries.

The accident left one car in a ditch and the other in a nearby field.
