A car fire was causing long delays on the A14.

Suffolk police were called to the fire in a layby near junction 51 of the A14 eastbound at Coddenham at 10.05am.

The car fire led to officers closing lane one, which remained closed until the vehicle has been recovered.

Traffic sensors and cameras were showing long delays on the eastbound carriageway, with delays of 20 minutes approaching the incident.

National Highways have now said that the road has reopened following the fire, although congestion two miles long remained for some time after the incident.
