A van overturned on the A120 near Braintree, causing rush-hour misery for commuters.

A Vauxhall Vivaro, which was towing a trailer, overturned at 4.30pm yesterday on the eastbound carriageway, just past the Freeport roundabout.

Diesel was spilt across the road, and severe tailbacks developed while the scene was cleared.

The congestion was compounded by a collision between a Ford Focus car and a Citroen vehicle near the scene.
