A mother and child have escaped serious injury after a two-car crash in Attleborough.

Emergency services were called to the incident, which involved a red Rover and a green Ford Focus, on Norwich Road just after 3pm today.

The air ambulance was initially scrambled as a precaution but was later stood down.

The casualties, thought to be a mother and child, went to a nearby house and are being assessed by ambulance crews there.

They are not thought to have suffered serious injuries.

The road is partially blocked while the vehicles are recovered.

One fire crew from Attleborough was sent to the scene at 3.05pm but had left the scene at 3.15pm.
