A woman in her 60s has been arrested on suspicion of drink-driving after a car left the road and crashed into a waterlogged ditch.
The collision happened just after 12.30pm on a country road near Stoke-by-Nayland.
Police officers and paramedics were called to the scene.
No other vehicles were involved in the incident.
A spokeswoman for Suffolk Constabulary said: Police were called at approximately 12.34pm to a reports of a single vehicle collision on the A134 near Assington. A car left the road near the B1068 and went into a ditch containing water.
This was creating stress among sheep farmers as they enter the peak lambing period when pregnant ewes and new born lambs are vulnerable to attack.
NFU Mutual recently commissioned a survey of dog owners which showed that 64% let their pets roam free in the countryside - with more than half admitting their dog doesn’t always return when called.
It also showed that 42% of dog owners were walking their pets more often in the countryside during the pandemic, with 81% noticing more people exercising their pets in rural areas.
“With more people walking in the countryside as Covid restrictions continue and an increase in dog ownership, we have seen horrific attacks resulting in large numbers of sheep being killed and a trail of horrific injuries,” said NFU Mutual rural affairs specialist Rebecca Davidson.

Victims of sexual violence reminded they are not alone
Victims of sexual abuse and violence are being reminded they are not alone as the national lockdown to combat the pandemic continues.
They are being urged to speak out as Suffolk Constabulary supports Sexual Abuse & Sexual Violence Awareness Week to raise awareness and offer advice.
Specialist providers of support to victims and survivors of sexual violence across Suffolk are teaming up and calling on organisations, individuals and agencies across the county to join them in saying ‘Suffolk says that all forms of sexual violence are not ok’.
Anyone can suffer from sexual abuse or sexual violence – age, gender, sexual orientation, social status, race or religion are no barrier. Raising awareness of this ‘hidden harm’ is a priority for police and partners.

Suffolk Constabulary Can t Appeal Matchday Policing Costs Ruling
Friday, 2nd Feb 2018 23:04
In the initial High Court hearing in July 2016 Mr Justice Green ruled that Suffolk Constabulary should have charged Town for policing two roads bordering the ground on matchdays (Portman Road and Sir Alf Ramsey Way) during the period 2008 to 2013.
