Students are calling for more road safety measures near the University of East Anglia after a young woman suffered life-threatening injuries in a collision.
Emergency services were called to Bluebell Road, close to its junction with The Avenues, at around 9.06pm on Sunday 27 September.
The collision involved a white Vauxhall Vivaro van and a pedestrian.
The pedestrian, a woman in her late teens, suffered life-threatening injuries and was airlifted to Addenbrooke’s Hospital in Cambridge, where she remains.
The driver of the van, a man also in his late teens, was arrested on suspicion of causing serious injury by dangerous driving.
The incident has prompted fresh calls for measures to improve pedestrian safety around roads close to the UEA campus.
Bluebell Road is heavily used by students, staff and residents travelling to and from the university.
The road was closed overnight while emergency services attended and reopened shortly before 6.30am on Monday.
Norfolk Police is continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding the collision.
Officers want to hear from anyone who witnessed what happened or may have relevant dashcam footage from Bluebell Road around the time of the collision.
