Highways England said the westbound A14 at Sproughton was closed following a car fire for a few hours on Friday

The westbound carriageway of the A14 in Suffolk has reopened after a car caught fire.

Suffolk Fire and Rescue Service was called to the incident close to junction 54 at Sproughton, near Ipswich, at 11:40 GMT.

The fire was put out but the carriageway was closed to allow oil to be cleaned up. National Highways said the road has now reopened and it thanked motorists for their patience.

There were three people in the car but they did not require medical treatment.
