Highways crews attended the scene to assess the damage caused.

The road was cleared by 1.26pm.

Sprowston resident Marcus Moore said he saw several emergency vehicles at the scene.

"I could hear the sirens and blue lights after I got off the bus.

"The railings were damaged at the crossing and the road was closed for about two hours.

"I think this is about the third time I've seen a crash happen at this crossing in the last year or so."
