A man was treated for chest injuries after a crash involving a motorbike and two cars on Canvey.

Ambulance crews were called to Somnes Avenue, near the Waterside Farm roundabout, at 7.20am today.

The road was partially blocked as a result of the accident.

An East of England Ambulance Service spokesman said: "We sent a rapid response car, an officer and an ambulance and treated a man, thought to be in his 40s, for chest injuries.

"Thankfully the patient's injuries do not appear too serious and he was not taken to hospital."
