A major route through a city was closed by an overturned Co-op lorry.

The A140 Colman Road in Norwich was blocked in both directions between South Park Avenue and Unthank Road between about 06:50 and 14:00 GMT on Monday.

Norfolk Police said the lorry overturned after a collision with a car. A blue Co-op lorry and a grey Vauxhall car were recovered from the scene.
