Drivers are facing delays on the A47 near Norwich after a turkey lorry overturned.

The incident happened at Blofield, before the Brundall roundabout, today at about 6.43am when a lorry headed to Norwich carrying Bernard Matthews-branded turkey products tipped over on its side.

The lorry was reportedly standing upright again within an hour but the road remained partially blocked and the lefthand lane of the road was closed.

A spokeswoman for Norfolk Police said that the lorry left the road before crashing into a tree.

There have been no reported injuries.

The AA Traffic Map reported that all lanes were closed for about ten minutes at 7am.

A large police presence was on the scene but had left by 9.57am when it was deemed safe.

The lorry was recovered by 10am and the road reopened shortly after.
