A car caught fire on the A47 forcing one lane to be closed.

The blaze happened just before 5pm this afternoon (March 13) in Great Yarmouth.

The westbound carriageway, from William Adams Way (Harfreys Roundabout) to A1243 Pasteur Road (Gapton Hall Roundabout), was blocked, causing delays.

Fire crews from Great Yarmouth and Gorleston attended the vehicle fire, using hose reels to extinguish the fire.

By 5.45pm, the incident had cleared and traffic levels had returned to normal.
