A motorcyclist has been taken to hospital with serious injuries after a crash on the A47.

Police say a motorcycle and a tractor were involved in a collision at West Bilney, near King’s Lynn, just before 8am.

The motorcyclist suffered what were described as serious injuries.

An ambulance spokesman said: “We were called to the A47 at West Bilney at around 7.55am today following reports of a collision. We sent an ambulance, rapid response vehicle, a BASICS (British Association for Immediate Care) car and the East Anglian Air Ambulance.

“Crews treated a male patient at the scene before transporting him to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital for further assessment and care.”

The road was closed between Lynn and Swaffham for more than two hours as emergency services dealt with the incident. It has now reopened.
