A man has died after his car was involved in a crash with a large lorry.

The driver of a white Toyota Yaris, a man in his 80s, died at the scene after he was in collision with a white MAN lorry.

Emergency servuces were called shortly after 09:00 BST to the A47 Acle Straight at Halvergate.

The road between the A1064 Acle roundabout and the A149 Acle New Road has been shut since the crash, and Norfolk Police said it would remain closed overnight.

The incident was on a single lane stretch and a diversion to the A149 through Caister has caused congestion.

Officers have appealed for any witnesses and dashcam footage.
