Early commuters were caught up in traffic jams after a car crashed into a barrier on the Pitsea flyover.

The outside lane of the London-bound A13 was blocked after the driver of a Peugeot 406 lost control of his car after having to brake hard to avoid another car.

The Peugeot driver from London was shaken but not injured. He was unable to provide any information on the car which pulled into his lane.

A spokesman for Laindon police said that as there were no independent witnesses there would be no further investigation.
