A section of the westbound A14 in Suffolk has been closed due to a crash.

National Highways said two lanes of the three-lane section between junction 39 for Kentford and junction 27 for west Newmarket were shut at about 12:20 BST on Saturday.

Two lanes were now open with one lane still closed, it added.

It said a specialist team was called to clear an oil spill that occurred during the collision.

A road sign was also damaged, it added.

A traveller caught up in the congestion believed a car had smashed into the central reservation and spun across the road.

There have been delays of about 30 minutes on the approach and about four miles of congestion, National Highways added.
