POLICE have now re-opened the A12 northbound after a section was closed for five hours during the night due to an accident.
Emergency services attended the 'serious' road traffic accident at just before 10pm last night (Sunday) between junctions leading to the A130 to Boreham, and the B1137 to Hatfield Peverel.
A grey Vauxhall Corsa had struck the central reservation and then overturned at Junction 19 but no injuries were sustained and recovery work had been completed by 2.30am, and the section of road re-opened.
The Highways Agency tweeted their thanks for the efficient response from emergency service: "#A12(N) at J19 A138 near Chelmsford. Road now fully open after earlier RTC. Our thanks @EssexPoliceUK @ECFRS - no delays!"
