A taxi has crashed into a cafe in Gorleston High Street.

Emergency services and building surveyors were called at 9.20am today after a car smashed into the front of the Flour and Bean cafe and bakery. The car did not go into the cafe, but one woman in her 40s was treated by an ambulance crew.

A spokesman for the East of England Ambulance Service said her injuries were not believed to be serious but she will probably be taken to hospital.

A spokesman for Norfolk police, who received a call from a neighbouring shop seconds after the crash, said a building control officer from Great Yarmouth Borough Council went to the scene to assess the damage.

She said: “The road remains open and the owner of the taxi is arranging for the vehicle to be removed.”

Norfolk Fire and Rescue Service crews have also been at the scene.
