A man has died in a crash involving a police car and an ambulance.

The incident happened on the westbound carriageway of the A14 at Rougham, Suffolk, at about 4.35am.

A car, followed by a police vehicle and then an ambulance, were all involved in a collision with a man who was in the carriageway, Suffolk Police said.

The man, believed to be 19 and from the local area, died at the scene, and has not been formally identified.
