Police, firefighters, the ambulance service, air ambulance and a volunteer paramedic from Suffolk Accident Rescue Service were called to the scene and the driver and passenger of the police car, two male officers, were taken to Addenbrooke's Hospital.

A 27-year-old man, who was driving the BMW, was arrested on suspicion of causing serious injury by dangerous driving and driving whilst unfit through drink or drugs.

The man, who was initially taken to West Suffolk Hospital as a precaution, was questioned at Bury St Edmunds Police Investigation Centre and was released on bail until October 21.

He was then re-bailed until December 19, then until February 8, and again until May 8.

The man, now 28, was then re-bailed until June 30 and then August 1.

He was re-bailed until November 16.

Following a magistrates bail extension application, his bail was extended to February 16, 2024.
