A spokesperson for the service said; “We were called to reports of a road traffic collision in Elveden at 0.15am this morning.
“A rapid response vehicle, ambulance officer, two ambulances and the East Anglian Air Ambulance rapid response vehicle attended the scene.
“Despite the best efforts of all involved, the patient sadly died.”
A Thetford-based crew from Norfolk Fire and Rescue Service also attended the scene.
The road was closed for a time but has now reopened following police investigations.
RAF Lakenheath confirmed early this morning that the woman was a member of the 48th Fighter Wing who had been involved in the crash.
