It comes after a spate of crashes on the county's roads today that have seen multiple people taken to hospital.

The A1122 near Downham Market remains closed between St John's Way and Downham Road following a five-vehicle crash at 6.36am. 

There were multiple, critical casualties and one person has been taken to Addenbrooke’s Hospital by air ambulance.

Police remain at the scene and the road is set to be closed for some time.

A stretch of the A47 between Hockering and Honingham also remains closed following a crash at 10.56am.

A woman has been taken to the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital in a critical condition.

Inspector Simon Jones of Norfolk and Suffolk Roads Policing Unit said forensic accident investigators were working at all three locations.

He said: “This series of collisions follows a weekend of tragedy on the county’s roads, with six people killed in four crashes between Friday and Sunday.

“While we can’t comment on the causes of those collisions and those that have happened this morning, one thing is clear that weather conditions are exceptionally cold which leads to icy and hazardous driving conditions.

“Our plea to motorists is to please take extra care on the roads in the coming days while this weather continues.

"Low temperatures overnight mean some of our roads are extremely icy and this isn’t always visible to the driver.

“Travelling at slower speeds in these conditions will give you more time to react to unforeseen hazards.”
