Drivers face delays on the A12 because of a broken-down lorry. 

Police were called at 7.53am on Tuesday to a broken-down HGV near the Copdock Interchange outside of Ipswich. 

A spokesperson for the police said this is because the tyre on the lorry has blown. 

This is causing drivers to be blocked by the lorry on the first lane heading towards Colchester. 

According to the AA Traffic Map there is long delays in the area. 

The lorry driver is now waiting to be recovered.
