A man and woman were taken to hospital yesterday afternoon after a two-car crash near Swaffham.

The Norwich Road was blocked from the McDonald's roundabout on the A47 after the collision happened just after 4pm.

One of the cars involved was a Nissan Micra and firefighters from Swaffham, Watton and Great Massingham used hydraulic rescue equipment to release one of the casualties.

A woman with a chest injury and a man with chest pains were taken to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, in King's Lynn, by paramedics.

The police were also called and the road was reopened at 6.20pm.
