A person has been taken to hospital after being cut free from their car following a crash in west Norfolk.

The collision happened yesterday (December 27) at 3.45pm on the A149 between Holme-next-the-Sea and Thornham.

A Renault Arkana and a Seat Leon were involved and the crash left the road completely blocked for several hours.

Fire crews from Hunstanton, Heacham and Sandringham and an ambulance were called to the scene.

A Norfolk Constabulary spokeswoman said: "Two people were trapped in their vehicles and had to be freed by the fire crews.

"Injuries sustained are not thought to be life-threatening or life-changing."

Both vehicles were recovered and the road reopened at about 8.30pm.

An East of England Ambulance Service spokesman added: “We were called to a road traffic collision involving two vehicles on the A149 in Holme-next-the-Sea.

"An ambulance was sent to the scene and one patient was transported to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in King’s Lynn for further assessment and treatment.”
