A CRASH has left diesel spilt all over the Hoew Green Interchange and will force the roundabout to be closed all night.

The northbound carriageway of the road is closed at the interchange after a crash involving a car and a lorry.

The lorry has been recovered, but the diesel remains on the road.

Traffic from the A130 is being diverted onto the southbound carriageway of the A12.

Essex Highways have confirmed the road will need to be resurfaced and will be closed until early tomorrow morning.

Highways advised that the road should be open in time for the morning rush hour but urged residents to check travel updates at 6am for confirmation.
