A47 reopened at Harford following accident involving four cars, shortly before Norwich City kick off

A busy Norfolk road has now reopened following a 'severe accident' on the A47, which happened just hours before kick off time at Norwich City.

The A47 in Harford was closed at about 1pm after an accident involving four cars.

Diversions were set up between Thickthorn and County Hall junctions and caused slow traffic headed eastbound at the A140 Ipswich Road junction.

Extra congestion had already built up in that area due to today's Norwich City match, which kicked off at 3pm.

Crews from the ambulance service did attend at the scene but no serious injuries were reported.
