Emergency crews have spent the morning battling to free a man trapped in his car which was wedged under a lorry.
Three fire engines were called to the scene, on the A11 at Roudham, at 6.40am, to reports of a Renault Laguna crushed under an HGV.
Officers spent an hour using a winch and hydraulic equipment trying to free the driver, who is described as being around 40-years-old.
Shortly after 7.30am he was released from the car and taken to the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital, where he is in a serious condition.
The incident happened on the Norwich bound carriageway, with both vehicles ending up in the central reservation.
As a result the A11 is currently closed between the Breckland Lodge roundabout and the B1111 junction at East Harling while police investigate the scene. Police are expecting to re-open the stretch of road later in the afternoon.
The lorry driver is unhurt but being treated for shock.
