Three cars were involved in a crash on the A47 that brought the city's roads to a standstill yesterday evening.

The crash happened at the junction with the A146 near Trowse which caused congestion around Norwich including in the city centre.

Vast disruption caused bus services to be cancelled and long delays for drivers during rush hour.
