Traffic was in chaos when a Land Rover overturned as it towed a trailer-load of tank tracks weighing two tons down the A12.

The non-military vehicle knocked over an SOS telephone as it came to rest, blocking the outside lane northbound between the Stanway and Spring Lane turn-offs for several hours during yesterday's afternoon rush-hour.

Several hours later, motorists suffered London-bound delays when an Army lorry lost its wheels and got stranded in the outside lane near the Ardleigh interchange.
