MOTORISTS faced traffic chaos on one of the main routes into Colchester after a crash involving a car and a lorry.
Both vehicles are believed to have been turning off Ipswich Road onto Cowdray Avenue at about 12.50pm when the crash happened on the roundabout.
A pale blue or silver Renault Kangoo was spun around and landed on its side.
Neither driver suffered serious injuries, but the crash blocked the roundabout.
While emergency services and recovery vehicles worked to clear the road, no vehicles could travel along Cowdray Avenue towards the town centre, causing traffic to bank up all along Ipswich Road and St Andrew’s Avenue.
Motorists heading away from town also faced long delays.
