An ambulance and an air ambulance were called to treat the woman.
The East Anglian Air Ambulance landed on the nearby Recreation Ground.
Norfolk Police closed the road in both directions and said it will remain closed for “some time”.
They urged motorists to avoid the area.
A man, who was in the Market Place when the incident happened said he heard a ‘big bang’ before emergency services arrived.
He said: “I heard a big bang and was wondering what it was.
“All of a sudden there were emergency services everywhere, there were at least four ambulances and seven police cars.
“The car was wedged right into the corner of the building.
“It’s a terrible accident, I wave at the couple that live in there when they are walking their dogs. I hope they are okay.”
