Four casualties, at least one with life-threatening injuries, are being treated at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital this evening after a single-vehicle road accident at Northrepps, near Cromer.

A police spokesman said this evening that next of kin were being contacted and no further details would be released at this stage.

Casualties were released from the vehicle by two teams of firefighters from Cromer using hydraulic rescue equipment.

Police closed off North Walsham Road, the scene of the crash, at both ends. Emergency crews were called to the accident just before 5pm.
