Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

One man and three horses have died following a road collision.

The incident happened on the A14 near Sproughton in Suffolk at 10.20pm on Christmas Eve.

Police were called following reports that up to six horses were loose on the road followed by a collision involving four vehicles.

A Suffolk Police spokeswoman said: "The man, aged 23 years and from Cambridgeshire, has since sadly died today.

"A section of the A14 westbound carriageway between Copdock and Sproughton was closed in order to recover the vehicles and horses, three of which died as a result of the collision."

The A14 has now re-opened.

A 26-year-old Ipswich man arrested on suspicion of causing danger to road users, has been bailed pending further inquiries.

Witnesses are asked to call PC Ali Cotton at the Serious Collision Investigation Team at Suffolk Police on 101.
