Driver seriously injured after crash following police pursuit on A47
The vehicle left the road in Little Fransham
The driver of a vehicle being pursued by police on the A47 has been taken to hospital with serious injuries following a crash.
Police say officers had cause to pursue a vehicle which failed to stop for them on Monday afternoon between Dereham and Swaffham.
It left the road at Little Fransham and the driver, a man in his 40s from Cambridgeshire, was taken to hospital for treatment for serious injuries.
Emergency services were called and the road was closed between Wendling and Necton overnight.
The road reopened this morning but a temporary traffic light system is expected to remain in place until this afternoon to allow for investigation work and recovery.
Norfolk Police says the incident has been referred to the Independent Office for Police Conduct, which is standard procedure.
