Near Bourton-on-the-Water, a motorcyclist in his 40s was seriously injured in a single-vehicle collision on the A436 and taken to hospital; a diversion is in place. In Auckland’s Massey area, a two-car crash has blocked Red Hills Road, with police warning the closure may last for some time. In Thetford, sections of London Road and St Martin’s Way are closed after a collision. Separate crashes have also disrupted Norwich Road in Dereham and the A149 between Heacham and Snettisham, where drivers are facing slow traffic or long delays; injury details were not reported for those incidents.
