The A11 has re-opened following a crash between a van, a lorry and a car close to the Thickthorn roundabout in Norwich this morning (Wednesday).

It happened at about 7.50am today on the Norwich-bound carriageway, blocking both lanes.

A police spokesman said the road re-opened at about 10.20am after the vehicles had been recovered. Police, fire and ambulance crews attended. One person had to be cut out of the car and was taken to the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital 'as a precaution' although they are not thought to have serious injuries.

During rush hour this morning, there were reports of traffic queued back to at least the Wymondham turning off of the A11.
