A car has been left abandoned in floodwater on an A127 slip road this morning, as pictures show vehicles struggling to get around the vehicle. 

The car, a red Renault, has been left in the middle of the Great Warley Street sliproad, joining the B186 to the Basildon-bound A127.

Photos show cars and vans struggling past the abandoned car, which has been left in high floodwaters caused by last night's heavy rainfall.
