A busy road near Norwich reopened in the early hours of the morning after a serious crash closed the carriageway in both directions for almost seven hours.

Drivers faced long delays after the accident near Hockering just after 5.15pm on Monday evening (February 21).

The road had been closed from Mattishall Lane to Fox Lane and affected traffic between Dereham and Norwich.

But just after 1am on Tuesday morning, National Highways East confirmed the route had reopened.

An air ambulance, police and fire crews attended the scene.

Injuries suffered by those involved are still unknown.
