A driver completed a three point turn before driving the wrong way on the A13 in an attempt to escape traffic. 

A lorry collided with the central reservation of the A13, creating 300 metres of debris and knocking down a number of lamposts.

Yesterday the Echo reported how several drivers saw other vehicles exity the A road by driving the wrong way along slip roads, leading to Essex Police warning motorists they would face penalty points. 

But now, a video has emerged of a driver completing a three point turn in the heavy traffic, using the space created by cars pulling over to leave room for the emergency services.
