Drivers on the A13 are facing significant delays this morning following a crash on a major road in south Essex.

The crash has left the A13 on the Stanford-le-Hope by pass Eastbound partially blocked.

This has caused queueing traffic between the A128 Brentwood Road (Orsett Cock) and the A1014 The Manorway (Stanford-le-Hope Turn Off).

Adding to the disruption, an obstruction after the Stanford-le-Hope Turn Off is exacerbating delays, leaving motorists stuck in tailbacks.

Any details on the crash are yet to be confirmed at this stage, and it remains unclear how long the delays will persist.
