A woman who was left in a life threatening condition after a major car crash is no longer in a life threatening condition.

The 27-year-old woman, of Chelmsford, was injured after a car overturned before the Rettendon Turnpike junction heading towards the Howe Green roundabout on the A130 northbound.

Her male passenger was also taken to hospital with minor injuries.

Police have now confirmed that the woman is no longer in a life threatening condition.

The crash caused the A130 to be closed northbound for several hours and caused delays on surrounding routes for most of the morning.
