The A13 London-bound prior to the Five Bells Interchange near Basildon is closed due to a crash which involved two vehicles, leaving oil on the road, and an average speed of five miles per hour
At about 5.55am a crash involving two vehicles on the A13 near the Five Bells Interchange (A176) was reported with the road being closed also due to oil being on the carriageway.
This caused delays and very slow traffic along the A13, between Five Bells and the Sadler's Farm roundabout.
UPDATED: The incident is cleared with slow moving traffic between the Sadlers Farm Interchange and the Pitsea Flyover.
