A major road in Southend has been partly closed after a crash left a car on its roof.

Emergency services are on the scene near Kent Elms on the A127 in Southend.

This is due to a crash reportedly involving two vehicles.

The A127 has been closed westbound as a result, and photos seen by the Echo show a car on its roof.

Traffic is already building due to the crash, with congestion back to the Tesco roundabout.

Both Essex Police and the East of England Ambulance service are on the scene and have been contacted for comment by the Echo.
