The East of England Ambulance Service said it was called to Arminghall at 07:32 and sent five ambulances, two ambulance officer vehicles, one rapid response vehicle and a community first responder to the scene.

Norfolk Fire and Rescue Service also attended and said it helped release occupants trapped in vehicles involved in the crash.
