One passenger was also inside the car and had minor injuries.
All next of kin are still to be informed of the accident.
The car was travelling along Chapel Road when it crashed at the junction with Newton Road.
Fire crews from Sprowston and Earlham were also called at 9.50pm.
They used hydraulic rescue equipment and provided casualty care.
