Man seriously injured in crash during A47 police pursuit

A man has been seriously injured following a crash during a police chase on the A47 yesterday.

Police say officers "had cause to pursue" a vehicle which failed to stop between Swaffham and Dereham, shortly after 4.20pm on Monday.

The car then left the road at Little Fransham. Its driver, a man in his 40s from Cambridgeshire, was taken to hospital with serious injuries.

The road was closed between Necton and Wendling following the collision.

Norfolk Police say the incident has also been referred to the Independent Office for Police Conduct, a move it says is standard procedure.
