A MAN had to be cut free after a head-on collision on the A12 in north Suffolk.

The collision, which happened at Darsham about 2pm today, closed the road in both directions.

Paramedics treated a man who suffered chest and neck injuries in the smash.

He is expected to be taken to James Paget University Hospital in Gorleston for further treatment.

The incident, which involved a silver Vauxhall Corsa and a silver Ford Mondeo, happened about half-a-mile north of the railway crossing.
