A man in his 80s has died in a crash between a car and a bus.
He was driving a Skoda car on the A149 at Hunstanton at about 1.20pm on Monday when the collision occurred with a red single decker coach run by King's Lynn-based operator Lynx Bus.
The man died at the scene.
Five
passengers on the bus suffered injuries, some of which were serious but
not life-threatening and were taken to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in
King's Lynn for treatment.
The crash happened
on the Old Hunstanton Road, close to Church Road, and several road
closures were in place while emergency services, including the East
Anglian Air Ambulance, dealt with the incident.
The bus was travelling towards Hunstanton while the car was going in the opposite direction.
After
the crash, police vans were used to ferry people from the bus to the
nearby Lodge hotel, where they were spoken to by police before being put
on a relief bus to continue their journeys.
Police
are appealing for witnesses to the crash and the manner of driving of
either of the vehicles immediately before the collision.
Officers also want to speak to anybody with dashcam footage.
