A child has been airlifted to hospital after a collision that blocked a major A-road in both directions.

National Highways reported the A47 in Norfolk was closed between the A149 at Runham Roundabout in Great Yarmouth and the A1064 at Acle.

Norfolk Police said it was called at about 06:30 BST and found a car in a ditch after a two-vehicle collision.

The East of England Ambulance Service said a child had been airlifted to Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge for further treatment.

The service said: "Three ambulances, an ambulance officer vehicle and the East Anglian Air Ambulance were sent to the scene.

"Three adults were transported by road to the James Paget Hospital."

While a road closure was in place, Norfolk Police said the road had now reopened and officers left the scene at 13:40.
