Two people and four dogs had a lucky escape on Christmas morning after their vehicle flipped over onto its site on a country Norfolk road.

The accident in Fakenham Road, Briston, followed a night where icy conditions developed on roads across the region.

A North Norfolk Police spokesman said no-one was injured in the crash.
