Motorists heading northbound were advised to follow this unsigned diversion route:

• At the A134/B1107 roundabout, take the third exit onto the A134.
• Continue on the A134 to the signalised junction with London Road. 
• At the signals, turn left into London Road and continue through Thetford to the A1066/A1075 roundabout. 
• Take the second exit to rejoin the A11. 

Several villages around the road were experiencing heavy congestion after queueing traffic was rerouted from the accident site. 

Delays have now cleared.
