A woman believed to be about 70 years old was airlifted to Addenbrooke's hospital with serious head injuries.

A young girl received minor cuts, another woman was left with a minor head injury and a man received minor injuries.

Their car, an Audi, hit the Stag roundabout outside the Breckland Lodge Hotel and emergency services were called at 8.35am.

Police closed the A11 in both directions for the helicopter to land and pick up the woman, leading to long queues as traffic was diverted.
