Emergency crews were called to the collision, which is understood to have involved an ambulance and a motorcycle, on the A47 between Narborough and Swaffham just before 7.25am today.

An East of England Ambulance Service spokesman said three people had been assessed on site for injuries and taken to Queen Elizabeth Hospital for a routine check-up.
