Two people were taken to the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital for further assessment and care.

It is the latest in a string of serious incidents on the A11 in recent weeks.

For most of the day on October 31, the eastbound carriageway was blocked from Wymondham and the Thickthorn roundabout after a lorry overturned.

On Sunday morning, a Mini One collided with a tree near Ketteringham, killing one person and leaving three others in hospital.
