Collision on A13

Police at the scene of a serious collision on the A13 between Sadlers Farm and Pitsea.

The collision occurred around 12.45pm today (Sunday June 13) involving three vehicles.

A man has been taken to hospital for the treatment of serious injuries, but these are not believed to be life changing or life threatening.

Both carriageways were initially closed while emergency services attended, but the London-bound carriageway has since reopened.

The Southend-bound carriageway is slowly reopening a lane at a time, but motorists are still urged to avoid the area and make alternative routes where possible.
