A broken down horsebox has caused delays for motorists on the A11 near Wymondham heading home for their Christmas break this evening.

The A11 was partially blocked with queuing traffic northbound between the B1135 junction in Wymondham and Thickthorn Roundabout in Cringleford, because a Land Rover vehicle towing a horsebox sustained a flat tyre.

Police were alerted to the obstruction at just before 4.40pm today and the road was clear by just after 5.20pm.
