Teenager hit by car and airlifted to hospital

A teenager who was struck by a car on an A-road was airlifted to hospital with life-threatening injuries.

Norfolk Police said it was called just after 08:40 BST to the A47 near Station Road, Little Fransham, where the pedestrian had been hit by a black Nissan Elgrand.

The boy was airlifted to Addenbrooke's Hospital where he remains, the force said.

The A47 in Norfolk was shut in both directions between the A1065 at Swaffham and the A1075 near Dereham and reopened shortly after 16:00.

Norfolk Police has appealed for witnesses who may have seen the incident or who may have relevant dashcam footage.

Eastbound traffic was diverted from the A1065 Swaffham Interchange, while westbound drivers had been told to follow diamond signs from the A11 Thickthorn Interchange towards Thetford.
