Horses were spotted on the A127 causing major delays for drivers this morning. 

Part of the road was closed this morning, between the Fairglen Interchange and Pound Lane. 

Several horses were seen running across the carriageway. 

The road reopened shortly before 8am, with eastbound traffic now moving well.
