A WOMAN driver was killed today when her car crashed into a tree beside the A47 at Dereham in Norfolk, around midday.

Three children in the rear passenger seats escaped with slight injuries and are being treated at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital.

Police have said a male passenger was left in a critical condition and is being treated at Addenbrooke’s Hospital in Cambridge.

The tragedy, which closed the A47 for four hours, happened just before the slip road to the A1075.
