A car crash on the A12 motorway involving five vehicles has caused severe commuter delays this morning (June 5).
The collision happened near junction 20B at Hatfield Peverel heading London bound.
The crash, which occurred just before 7.30am this morning, involved a Range Rover Vogue, a Volkswagen Polo, a Mercedes E220, a Fiat 500 and a Ford Fiesta.
Ambulances and paramedics were at the scene although no one is thought to have required hospital treatment.
A police spokesman said: "Police were called at 7.30am this morning to reports of five-vehicle road traffic collision on the A12 London bound carriageway.
"Ambulance and paramedics were in attendance with one lane being blocked and a road closure was put into place while the scene was cleared – the road reopened at 8.24am."
Also on the A12 this morning, heading north bound, a car accident involving four cars slowed traffic at the Brook Street roundabout.
