Motorists facing 'long delays' after A12 crashes
Emergency services were called to two separate crashes on the A12
- Published
Motorists faced "long delays" after a rush-hour crash involving "possibly as many as six" vehicles on the A12.
Emergency services were called to a multi-vehicle collision on the northbound carriageway between Colchester in Essex and Stratford St Mary in Suffolk, at 07:27 GMT.
Police officers reported no injuries but shut the road so vehicles could be cleared, resulting in heavy congestion and delays of up to 45 minutes.
According to National Highways East, which had advised drivers to allow extra time for their journeys, the scene has now been cleared but "long delays remain in the area".
The crash was one of two on the A12 earlier - the other being a three-vehicle collision at the Boreham Interchange near Chelmsford at about 7:24 GMT.
The incident did not result in any injuries and the road has since cleared.
