A motorcyclist was taken to hospital with minor injuries this afternoon after coming off his bike, closing the A47 in both directions for a brief while.

Around 1.30pm the motorcyclist came off in Honingham, west of Norwich, close to the village church.

The crash closed the road in both directions between the Church Lane junction and the Norwich Road junction.

He was taken to the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital for treatment and police have launched an investigation into what happened.
