King's Lynn man Aurelijus Cielevicius, charged in connection with A47 crash at North Runcton that killed three people, appears at Norwich Magistrates' Court

A 39-year-old man who was charged in connection with an A47 crash which resulted in the deaths of three people has appeared in court this week.

Aurelijus Cielevicius, of John Street, Lynn, was before Norwich Magistrates' Court on Tuesday, after being charged with three counts of death by dangerous driving.

It came after emergency services were called to reports of a crash between a white Vauxhall Mokka and black BMW X5 near to the Constitution Hill roundabout in North Runcton at 7.40pm on Sunday.

The three occupants of the Vauxhall Mokka, two aged in their 40s and one in their 20s, were pronounced dead by paramedics.

The A47 was closed for a period of time while the incident was being dealt with.

Cielevicius was remanded in custody to appear at Norwich Crown Court on February 14.
