A motorcyclist has been taken to hospital after a crash that closed the A10 for several hours.

The crash happened at the Ferry Bank junction in Southery, near Downham Market, between a grey Yamaha motorbike and a blue Volvo.

The motorcyclist, a man in his 30's, was taken to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in King's Lynn for treatment.

A large emergency service presence attended the scene including an air ambulance at 1.40pm.

The stretch of road has become a blackspot for incidents with a man in his 20s dying in a nearby crash two weeks ago.

Police are now appealing for witnesses or anyone who may have relevant dashcam footage.

Anybody with information should contact police on 101 or via email at SCIU@norfolk.police.uk quoting reference: NC-06052024-203.
