The crash happened on the B1108 Watton Road at Bow Hill at 2.55pm on Saturday and the road remained closed until 9pm while the emergency services dealt with the aftermath.
Norfolk Police would like to speak to anyone who may have witnessed the crash, or the manner of driving before it happened.
Lord Cameron served as Conservative prime minister between 2010 and 2016, when he stood down in the wake of losing the Brexit referendum.
He returned to government in 2023, when he was ennobled and agreed to serve as Rishi Sunak’s foreign secretary.
