AN accident partially blocked the A127 westbound at Kent Elms corner.

The incident, which is thought to have happened around 9am, is just before Kent Elms Corner and blocked the outside lane of the road.

It is reporter than a silver Renault Clio had crashed into a barrier in the central reservation.

Queues were trailing back to the Tesco roundabout, at the junction with Nestuda Way, but the road was clear and flowing freely by 11.15.
