A major road used by thousands of people heading to the Royal Norfolk Show was blocked this morning.

The left-hand lane of the A47 eastbound near Dereham and North Tuddenham was left partially obstructed following a two-vehicle crash at about 6.50am.

Police, ambulance and fire service crews attended the scene.

Traffic heading eastbound towards Hockering and the show was moving slowly during the morning, but the road was cleared by 8.22am.

Traffic has been flowing freely since.

A spokesman for the East of England Ambulance Service confirmed that nobody was left injured in the crash.
