The single vehicle crash on Barnby Bends happened just before 5.50am on Thursday, July 9.

With the vehicle on its roof when emergency services arrived at the scene, one side of the road was blocked as recovery took place.

A police spokesman said: “We were called just before 5.50am this morning, to reports of a single-vehicle RTC on Beccles Road, Barnby, near to the Equestrian Centre.

“A blue Peugeot 206 had overturned and one side of the road was blocked.
