Two people were injured when their van overturned, causing traffic chaos on the A12 earlier today.

A white Ford Transit panel van, which is believed to have been the only vehicle involved in the accident, rolled over on the southbound carriageway near the Witham south junction about 6am.

Police closed one lane of the A12 while they cleared a large amount of debris from the road surface.

Traffic was reported to be queuing back to Marks Tey throughout the morning rush hour as a result.

The extent of the two people's injuries is not known. Police said the van was registered to a Colchester company.
