Motorists are facing significant delays on the A127 Southend Arterial Road this morning due to recovery work following an earlier crash.

One lane remains closed eastbound between the A1245 (Fairglen Interchange) and A129 Rayleigh Road (Rayleigh Weir) as crews work to clear the scene.

Traffic is heavily congested, with delays reported on the A1245 in both directions at the Fairglen Interchange, and tailbacks continue to grow.

There is also a knock-on effect on the A130.

No further details on the crash or any injuries have been released at this time, but recovery work continues.
