Man dies after lorry overturns on A14

A man has died after a lorry overturned and closed part of the A14 overnight

The crash happened at 19:00 GMT on Tuesday at Trimley St Martin in Suffolk and shut the road between Trimley (junction 59) and the Seven Hills interchange (junction 58) for more than 12 hours.

A man in his 60s, the lorry driver, died at the scene, police said.

Both carriageways have reopened, but one lane of the westbound carriageway was expected to remain closed throughout Wednesday for repairs.

National Highways reported the lorry had gone through the crash barrier on to the opposite carriageway.

Drivers faced delays of up to 60 minutes after the carriageways reopened.

National Highways said: "Suffolk Police-led collision investigations are now under way.

These are essential for establishing the cause of the incident and gathering evidence.

"This process can take several hours, meaning roads typically remain closed for a significant period after serious incidents."

Suffolk Police said officers remained at the scene and asked anyone with information or who witnessed the collision to contact them.
