The A127 Londonbound is grid locked following an accident earlier this morning.

A crash involving two vehicles has blocked off the road entirely and has pushed traffic back past the Fortune of War coming from Rayleigh.

The crash happened at the junction of the A128 by the Halfway House.

It happened at around 6.40am.

Traffic is still moving very slowly past the incident, but traffic is unaffected towards Southend.

Update 8am: the incident has cleared.
