THE northbound A12 was closed after a one vehicle collision.

The incident occurred at 12.20pm between junction 25, at Kelvedon North, and junction 25 at Marks Tey when a red Ford Focus careered into a crash barrier.

An ambulance crew was called to the scene, while firefighters freed the driver.

At first, one lane was closed but a full closure was put in place to allow fire crews to access the scene.

Both lanes were reopened at about 1.25pm, but traffic is slow from junction 22 at
Witham North, with delays of up to 45 minutes.
