A car fire on a busy road is causing severe congestion.
The vehicle went up in flames at around 8.10am on the A146 at Loddon.
Police and at least two fire crews are currently on the scene of the fire, which has closed a stretch of the A-road and caused traffic problems in the town as motorists use it to avoid the closure.
One driver, who lives in Loddon, said: “I can see a fire near Warren Hills on the A146, which has caused traffic to be at a standstill.
“Loddon is now gridlocked as cars are trying to cut through the town.”
Video of the blaze shows the vehicle sparking as smoke plumes into the sky.
Both the East of England Ambulance Service and Norfolk Fire and Rescue have been contacted for comment.
