A lane of the A11 was shut after a car caught fire.

Traffic was moving slowly at the A1075 junction of the A11 near Thetford, following a car fire.

Norfolk Fire and Rescue Service pumps from Thetford, East Harling and Attleborough were called at around 1.40pm today (Monday, February 4) to the smoking Land Rover Discovery.

Crews wore breathing apparatus and used compressed air foam to extinguish the fire.

Police closed one lane while waiting for a recovery vehicle, and fully reopened the road at 3.30pm.
