A woman and a child were taken to hospital after a crash in Spixworth.

The accident, which involved a Fiat Punto and no other vehicles, happened in Church Lane, about three quarters of a mile from Spixworth Road, at 9.10am today.

A spokeman for East of England Ambulance Service NHS Trust said the woman, believed to be in her 30s and the child, aged four, were taken to the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital with minor injuries.

Fire crews from Sprowston and Earlham also went to the crash and helped get the pair out of the car and made the scene safe.

The accident and the need for a lorry to recover the crashed car, meant the road was blocked until 11.30am.
