A tractor with a trailer and a white Ford Transit van were both travelling along the road towards Stowmarket. When the tractor was turning into a small entrance the Transit manoeuvred around two other vehicles waiting behind the tractor and went into a ditch. The male in the van, aged in his late 30s, sustained multiple fractures in his legs and pelvis and was taken to Addenbrooke’s Hospital, in Cambridge, for treatment.
