A fallen tree has been cleared from a major road in Norfolk.
The tree was blocking the A148 Holt road in one direction, affecting eastbound traffic at Aylmerton, near Cromer, between Lodge Hill and Church Road.
The road serves as a major route between towns in north Norfolk, such as Cromer, Holt and Fakenham.

Meanwhile, EDP reporter David Bale was driving his car in Burgh-next-Aylsham at about 8.20am today when a tree fell across the road.
He said: "A second earlier and the tree would have fallen on my car. One second the tree was standing up, the next it was falling. It was so sudden.
"I count myself very fortunate that I was not driving that second faster. If I had been, I could have been killed.
"I had to reverse the car and drive back up the road to take another route."
Elsewhere, Norfolk Fire and Rescue were called to Snettisham at 6.30am after an electricity pole and cable was also brought down by high winds.
