A young Norwich City player has admitted causing serious injury to three people by dangerous driving.

Flynn Clarke, 20, was given an interim driving ban at Cambridge Crown Court earlier today (August 11) after pleading guilty to charges relating to an incident that happened in Thorney, Cambridgeshire in April 2022.

A stretch of the A47 and the B1167 in Thorney was closed at around 8pm on April 30, 2022 following a crash in which Clarke was involved, reopening again around 10pm.
